09/13 - Trade in processing has slowed down, a trade in that was delivered to Chino,
CA on 09/06 wasn't processed until 09/13, representing ~5 business days from delivery to assessment. Kentucky was processing trades faster, with a ~1 business day turnaround reported on 09/12 when the delivery was made on 09/11.
09/05 - Best Buy no longer issues "trade in kits" (boxes with prepaid labels). Once your Pixel 9 Pro is delivered and the Best Buy order status shows delivered (their system lags behind UPS), you'll get an email with the next steps. You need to go into the Order Details page on BB.com, sign in and then you can print a pre-paid UPS label for the trade-in. Save a copy of the tracking number for your records and make sure it gets scanned in to the UPS system when you drop it off.
Trade ins will likely be delivered in bulk, but UPS should still show a delivered scan. IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR THE TRADE INS TO BE PROCESSED, DO NOT FREAK OUT IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN INSTANTLY. As of 09/04, they were processing trades that were delivered on 08/29 - so at least 4 business days. It WILL take time with the volume of P9P orders and trade ins.
If BB baited you into their "store" with advertised "enhanced" trade in values and then decided to reneg days later, at least, file a FTC complaint

Pixel 9's not currently working with TracFone
The trade-in value will show as the BASE VALUE, but that does not include the promotion value. You will still get the promotion value assuming you were going to get it per your order receipt, so do not worry.

I picked the common black/unlocked just to be safe.
just have to choose pixel 9 pro xl , not pixel 9 pro.
Don't know how much I can sell in the market for the sealed pixel 9 pro xl 128GB....
Also note that they updated the trade-in selection feature. It's now listing far more models/colors.

I wonder if Google/Best buy met their sales goals hence changed them or someone at Google/Best buy goofed up..
Congrats on anyone that got in on this incredible deal! Looks like its officially dead.

I'm not holding my breath for any good deals after launch. I don't recall seeing any outstanding trade options post-launch the last few years. I'm glad I put a pixel notification on my account... at least I got the pixel9, good enough!
For BF they may do sale and reduce sale price, but I doubt the final price may not be any where close to this pre order deal (assuming trade in phone is bought from ebay, $100 - $150 for P9, $200 - $250 for P9P, $300 - $350 for P9P XL when you consider Gift card as cash).

It makes me think that they were planning to only give a low trade in value when the phones were mailed in anyway since you're required to pay up front and get whatever the phone is worth back...... but maybe that's too conspiracy theoryish
Anyway, I'm just gonna return the iphone 12 I bought and call this a dead deal....
