90% of morons on this thread will ruin the deal by asking dumb questions to Best Buy and possibly altering them to check trade in phone in details. Just keep your mouth shut when you go there to pick up the phone

Once the in-store rep accepted your trade-in phone, it's a done deal. They cannot reject it later because once BB took possession of it, you no longer have controls over it. For all you knew, the phone was in perfect condition when you handed it to BB. Big Grin
Oh I was referring to online trade in.

Fwiw I read the fine print and it says they will contact if the value was decreased, I have the option to accept new value or opt out and have my device returned.

Picked up $100 GC and P9 for iPhone 12 ($185 on Metro), so net out of pocket is $85. I should be able to turn P9 for more than $85, shouldn't I?

This was a slickest deal, thanks OP. Repped.

Is this your side hustle?

Quote from mplouisville :
Thanks buddy, I have no use for it. Nobody will be able to use it if I give the phone as is without activation right?
If you don't activate the phone no one will be able to use your line. The activation is done on the website with an SMS confirmation code sent to the phone. I wanted to transfer the eSim to another phone but I realize now that Metro has 2FA enabled just to log into your account on the web. So without the phone I can't get into the account. Will see if CS rep can help, otherwise I lost the month of service.

Yes, I am an iOS user, will likely sell Pixel.

And also thrill of deal-seeking. I mean why wouldn't you take advantage of Big Corporations every once in a while, when otherwise we get charged/robbed every step of the way.

Have to plan ahead. As soon as I received the BB email to pick up my Pixel 9, I used the MyMetro app on the iPhone 12 to transfer its service to the eSIM of an inactive Metro Moto G Stylus that I have. Easily done. So I still have access to my Metro account to order more tablets and phones. Just ordered a Metro Moto Edge 2024 for FREE + $35 plan + GV port-in.

I think moto edge 2024 works with T-Mobile sim out of the box, right?

Has anyone been charged the full amount but is expecting trade-in credit later?

I don't know. I don't have a native T-mo SIM to try.

Hi,
I picked up two Pixel 9(s) yesterday with iphone12 trade in. The process went very smooth, the BB representative didn't check much, but my iphone 12 were in very good condition.

My online receipt, show total cost of $0 (also indicate $145, weird). But I also notice my credit card is still being charged at full price $800+tax now. Is this normal to everyone else? Do you know when I will receive the refund?

Same thing happened to me, full price with no trade in or promotional credit posted to my account.

I thought the pending charge would drop off, but.... It appears not.

The $145 price is (retail price - promotional credit)

Same here with my Pixel 9 and i12 trade-in. Credit card shows full charge + tax. Based on the Pixel 8 deals with iphone trade-in that I did recently, the refund is issued 1-2 days later, although BB site says it could take up to 7 days. Rest easy.

I think it does as I see so many eBay listings indicate that their phones will work for both metro and postpaid tmobile. These guys wouldn't want to mess around with customers on eBay that tend to return on the first sight of a misprint.

I think metro phone don't work with TMO sim. But metro sim will work with TMO phone. I have metro s23 FE, it didn't work with TMO sim until phone is unlocked.
