this was recently 399. Someone in that thread said that that price should be back on March 25th, per Best Buy customer service. . Of course that doesn't mean that the inflated trade in prices will be there when/ if that time comes.

Hope so. They wouldn't take my trade when I went to pick up so now I have to cancel the order. They said they couldn't adjust the current order or help honor the old price if I placed a new order. Blows my mind.

Anyone who opted for a new phone line with Verizon, is it going to be a hard check on ssn or soft?

Did they dispute the condition of your phone or just refused to honor your web order?

@SkillfulJuice3896 I was going to do that deal the other day, but wanted to go in store the next day and the deal was gone.
I am glad it happened though because the next day I ended up getting this phone for even cheaper for about $300 or less, if you trade in a pixel 8a which is on sale at target.
Essentially training in a pixel 8a for a Pixel Pro 9 XL + some change and a little side mission of buying the 8a from target, trading it in, then canceling the line.

https://slickdeals.net/f/18184477-google-pixel-8a-5g-unlocked-128gb-smartphone-299-at-target?src=category_page&peid=13c73515-cb87-4a81-8fc1-48340c5100ac

Purchase the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL at the $499 price "We'll help you connect to phone to carrier" option, and adding a new line with Verizon.

Then add the Trade in, select the Google Pixel 8a (Obsidian or Bay color which ever you purchase at target) and then you will get the enhanced trade in credit total of $490.

The total price you pay at BestBuy should be about $9 plus your state tax. For me it was $9.63 + the price of the Pixel 8a which if you have a target discount plus target circle could get you 5-20% extra off the $299 pixel 8a.

You'll want to cancel your verizon line after picking up the device from Bestbuy, so you can waive the $35 activation fee, + the plan with verizon. The rep told me I may be responsible for some taxes and gov fees which may be a few dollars. Waiting on my final bill to find out.

Price breakdown:
Original Price: $1,099
Savings: -$600 (Adding a new line to verizon)
Trade-in value: -$490 (Trade in pixel 8a $190 value + $300 enhanced trade in promo)
Estimated Sales Tax: Varies
Estimated Total: $9+

If you have an existing Verizon account and line to upgrade device, does it change the plan? And do they send you a locked phone to Verizon or is it an unlocked phone? Trying to figure out if the activate now on existing line has any catches vs. buying the unlocked version outright (which is $100 more) and swapping sim from current phone. Never gone through best buy's activate now so I'm not too sure.
Edit: I noticed the fine print - upgrading an existing line does not give you the discount compared to activate later, only adding a new line gives the additional discount.

Do you happen to have a link to that comment? I'm searching that thread and nothing comes up for March 25.

Someone mentioned they chatted with sales rep and they told them but I'd not count on it
