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.

The updated terms have a static list of qualified phones for the max values:
For Pixel 9, qualifying models include Samsung Galaxy S24+, Galaxy S24 Ultra, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. For Pixel 9 Pro qualifying models include Galaxy S24 Ultra, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. For Pixel 9 Pro XL, qualifying trade-in model includes S24 Ultra.
Seems shady of Beat Buy to update the terms mid-promotion when folks were relying on the terms as they were posted.

Best Buy lists the Verizon model as MGLN3LL/A but this is actually the number for the unlocked model. Since Best Buy can't even get their model numbers right, I think we'll be okay.

Only option they have is, cancelling these orders and refund. I am highly doubtful that Best buy/Google will do this since it's not a scenario they would like to go into and deal with it (handling inventory/logistics, negative publicity, dissatisfied customers etc..)

The first link pointing to slickdeals contains the old terms, which gives a few examples of phones that will give max value (not inclusive, just examples). The second link was supposed to be for the new terms, though it's all the way at the bottom of the page.
