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

this deal was dead on 16th or so. Too many people abused it and even more people contacted bestbuy asking dumb questions
Abused ??? No! Bestbuy gave the offer and people took it.

People asking dumb questions- I agree with that

There are people who ordered 15-20 just to re-sell them. While I get it that BestBuy gave the offer and was not strict enough to implement proper restrictions and limiting quantity. But because of people like these is why deals like these ends out of nowhere and don't come back again. And as I mentioned, it's partially BestBuy's fault too on not implementing proper rules against resellers and stuff.

If anyone missed out and has a 12 Pro MPM 128GB Graphite MGLN3LL/A that would like to get in on the deal and lives in Northeastern OH, PM me. My preorder hasn't been cancelled yet and will ship by the 6th. I have not been able to acquire a model for trade in and am not sure how much longer I will be looking.

Contacted Best Buy via chat, that rep said there's a potential issue when model number for trade-in do not match...

I'm not sure where one can even find MGLN3LL/A. I have MGK13LL/A - same exact color and storage.

Why not just get a refurb/used one on amazon?

This Walmart listing has your model number, but no guarantees that's what your seller actually ships. It's perhaps a bit risky if you're doing a mail in trade...

I'm going to play it safe and order a geek squad refurbished iPhone 12 Pro from Best Buy that matches that model number… but watch when I receive it; it might not be the same model number still lol.

I wouldn't buy anything from a seller in Brooklyn NY with a 57% positive rating.

I was trying to go the swappa / marketplace / craigslist routes and wasn't having much success. I will give Amazon a try.

Thank you for posting that. IDK with it mentioning straight talk if that will still count or not. $390 was a bit more than I wanted to spend. Granted there is a gift card coming our way to, but I bet prices on Swappa will be around $500 very soon.

They are on amazon for around $360. How are you guys skipping amazon for this? It's the safest bet.

I definitely am failing at finding it... I gave up and ordered one from Best Buy for $500 + tax; let's hope it's the correct model otherwise that's going back to Best Buy.

Also, the Backmarket one did mention the model number, but the one I received definitely wasn't the MGLN3LL/A; it was the MGK13LL/A.

For mail in trade can we send a different color than originally submitted?

You can try contacting the trade-in support via email; but more or less I'm guessing no; it should match model # + color + storage.

Probably going to be interesting few weeks for those who ordered the Pixel 9 Pro as majority of the orders are online/mail orders and it seems near impossible to find the correct model.

I'm even risking a little more money to purchase the geek squad certified iPhone 12 Pro in hopes to be the correct model; at $500 + tax for using it as trade-in still not too bad when you factor in getting a $200 gift card from the Pixel 9 Pro order.

Definitely not worth it for those who think of flipping for profit though; I'm just using it personally so I think the value still great; that is if it all goes smoothly.
