So reporting back from the Bay Area run for this crazy deal

I had 128 GB iPhone 13 from metro deal -$268 paid then

Online Best Buy shows everything out of stock for 250 miles

Still played my card drove 40 mins to nearest one. Stood outside till 11.00 as store was closed. Was the first person at the mobile booth. Store employee came out and asked if I was for there for pixel deal. Said Yes with a smile and he said I only have 1 last one.

Then proceeded for the deal which he couldn't get to work for the longest time. It was showing him the deal but he couldn't apply it to the cart. He called sup who said call corporate and they gave him a code to apply - I overheard it was Google with G caps.

So we continued the checkout process and I kept telling him I needed to trade in to get the value as showing online. He was baffled cause it wasn't working for him and said it never happened before.
He said for the trade in - he will give you $200 BB gc plus I'll apply the promo deal with the next before you wipe the phone. The whole time he kept pointing out that while this is not a locked in contract you still can own credits to Verizon if you cancel after 3 days. Within3 days you can come back and get a full refund on what you paid today by no trade-in phone will be returned. So you'll lose the phone.

I persisted since I was reading here that you can cancel easily.

And after 1 hr of bouncing from page to page he was told he has to take my finger print for trade in. I agreed. He scans to BBgc for $200 and the goes to printer to get another coupon I apply to cart for—- $250 .. he said you're lucky. System gave you more. so I got $450 for trade in. So we proceeded once more this time with me signing a bunch of things and getting a New Verizon line and number.
I reminded him that I need no contract/monthly bill credits etc and he confirmed this is unlocked phone. The line is charged.

He voided the SIM card charge after I complained.

So in the end I traded my 13 128 gb and walked out with XL pro 128 gb + $50 BB gc

Fantastic deal if I am able to cancel Verizon.

it was not there till last step . we tried atleast 2 hours.
I've been with rep and it is not giving me the additional promo amount, so is ending up 200 short on my trade in, which is pixel 6. Only giving me 60. At last step and nothing. Is there a code they needed to enter

Did you go to the store even though online said it's not in stock?

Essentially you are creating a new account with either of those carriers and getting the phone at a steep discount and it's unlocked right out of the box. You can do this online if you have any stores near you that has stock or have to do it in store.

Ordered deal online for local pickup. Porting gv number to att. Order went through, then got email saying there was an activation problem.
Drove to the store, phone manager has been on phone with ATT for twenty minutes trying to get it activated before they can give me the phone. I told them I can get a new number if there's a problem but it seems switching process isn't possible.

I believe there might be problems if the line is not activated once you go to cancel it. Technically the line is not active and they should not charge you but you never know with these carriers.
Does it mean that you have to insert a SIM card at least once in a phone (at&t) before cancellation ? And what reason do you state when calling to cancel. Thanks

If the order status says it's being prepared for pick-up, I'm good right? Trying to see how far how can I build this. I went from $60 which I turned into $300 BBY gift cards through Amazon. Then I used the $220 to get Pro Pixel 7 with it last week. Traded it (unopened) just now and put in another $80 in gift cards. How much can I sell this for after I cancel the AT&T order?
