I have a Pixel 6 to trade in that I bought from T-Mobile 3 years ago, so the website already has the IMEI. I went all the way through the checkout process, everything looked good. But then I carefully read the Trade In Terms document. It said the Trade In expires on 11/23/2024 (tomorrow). If you then click on the link in that document that takes you to https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce...d-t-c.html , it says "If you fail to return your Device by the trade-in expiration date, you may be required to pay back any value or credit advanced to you." It also says "...if you sell your Device online or over the phone, we will honor the Offer Price if: (1) your Device is received by us by the Offer Price trade-in expiration date."
That's impossible, how can I mail it and have them receive it the next day? They should have an expiration date at least a week or two away, so that I can first receive and activate the new Pixel 9, copy stuff over (if needed), delete all my personal info from the Pixel 6 ("You will remove all Device data and personal information, passwords, security software, or user locks."), then ship it to them and leave time for shipping carrier to get it to them.
So I reluctantly backed out at the final step.
This deal worked on my Simple Choice plan -- via T-App, traded in S21FE, total was the $35 DCC + state tax.
You'll actually be fine with the trade in. Just placed my order and this is verbatim from my confirmation email from T-Mobile:

What's next?
Once that cool new device is in your hands, get started on these important next steps.
Trade in your old device
Once your new Pixel 9 Pro ships, you'll have 30 days to send back your current Google GVU6C Pixel 7 5G 128GB White - T-Mobile in good condition to retain your promotional value of $800.00.

So the Pixel 9 cannot be unlocked until the phone is paid off in two years? (even though you are paying $0 for month in order for Tmobile to force you to stay with Tmobile for 2 years)

Correct. They're not going to just give out free phones and let you switch carriers.

At least with Android phones they let you temporarily SIM unlock for 30 days five times a year.

I went to my local costco tmobile kiosk and they didn't have anything like that.

Online only deal. Unless you can find a Costco employee that can circumvent the system. Even says web offer only on the promotion.

Incorrect. This promo works on almost all plans that allow EIPs. Did it on my Sprint one plan.

Thanks for reporting back with in store trade-in. I will definitely make sure to all the above is checked off before handing it over to them.
I recalled many years ago, the store rep did all the above and even checked for water damages. I can't remember what he did to confirm whether it was damaged or not.

Just traded in my pixel 6 Pro at a corporate store. No issues. Got my receipt that shows "trade-in device details -accepted offer."

Nobody is forcing you to do anything. It is a contract. These are the terms. You agree to the terms you do it. If you don't then don't do the deal.

Nope. Locked until paid off=no root.
Since I cannot unlock the bootloader, value to me is way down (I run GrapheneOS as my daily driver).

A couple of follow-up questions (to help me decide whether I will be returning this):

1. Can I keep it in the box for 2 years and not activate it (or will my not activating cause credit to drop off)?

2. If I have to activate it, does it need to remain active on my account? And, if yes, does it need to be active on the same line for which I did the upgrade, or can I keep it active on a different line (same account)?

Also, if anyone still has one of those 30% off codes floating around, please PM me.

Thanks.

A quick google search found this info in a post.

If you have Tmobile Protection 360(p360) insurance you can trade in after half the phone is paid off, basically after 12 out of 24 payments. You can even pay the difference if it hasn't been 12 payments yet.

If you don't have p360, you can pay the remaining balance and then trade the phone back in same day for promotional credit on your new phone.

You can also do so without p360 if you have been on Go5G NEXT for at least 6 months, but still after half the payments are made.

You may even be able to use some instant trade in credit based on the fair market value of your phone if you do it in store. Not shipping from store. Idk about shopping yourself on the website or app. Google T-Mobile in credit estimate of try doing a transaction on the website or app to see your instant credit.

If you do use the instant credit, they'll subtract the amount you use from the promotional credit


Not sure if this information apply to trade-in with Bestbuy but I am sure Bestbuy and others must have access to the same Tmobile system to see if the phone is fully paid or not since this is very common thing.

Seems like the deal is dead. My co-worker was looking to trade in her Pixel 6 and the Trade-In Deal was no where to be found on the app or website.
Am I missing something???
What kind of plan does he have?

Answering my own question 1, above: Per T-Mobile tech support (US based; call earlier today), I can leave it in the box for the entire 24 months, and not activate it, and the credits will continue. Paying (net after credits applied) about $310 over 24 months to trade-up my Pixel 7 256GB (used) for a Pixel 9 Pro XL 256GB (staying new in box) is something I can live with.

If I can get that Costco $100 gift card, even better; still waiting for that. What is the process for receiving that (if someone knows)?
