Google Fi gives you $200 off the phone, no code required. Google Fi gives you worse trade in values currently.
Has anyone found a way to get them to send the code?
Official case is nicer than I expected. Looks and feels very good, but downside is it's the most slippery case I've ever had. Not super slippery but enough that I'll sometimes need to hold the phone tighter than normal. Would probably prefer a little better protection of the camera on the back but hopefully will be fine. Also fear this case may quickly start looking a lot worse though due to the material it's made of will likely show a lot of pressure marks, lines, smudges, etc. even if you are careful with it.
Not too much excitement about the phone "upgrade" personally, but I do quite like Pixel phones already and would much rather have this than an iPhone or Samsung. Doubt I'll personally notice much difference from the 6a except my 6a's GPS was getting slow and inaccurate (60Hz refresh rate has never bothered me at all). 6a itself wasn't really an improvement over my old 3a XL. Wish we still had the fingerprint scanner on the back, but it does seem like the 9a's is working much better than the 6a's so far (already have tempered glass screen protector installed which isn't causing any issues).
Feels chunkier holding it, partly due to edges not being as rounded as the 6a but also seems to be slightly thicker despite the not really having a camera hump.

P.S. Looking for a $100 off code as well to purchase the 9a, I have a $20 Amazon gift card I can send

The 16e trade in deals were extremely disappointing.
Current trade-ins procured for trade-in purposes - Three iPhone SE 2023, Two iPhone 13, one Pixel 6a, one Pixel 7, one Pixel 8.
Best Buy used to run nice programs with enhanced trade-in values and pre-order "extras" - now it seems only Visible really entices folks with deals and folks are complaining about two months of paid service prior to unlock.

If anyone has a spare $100 off code, I'll happily trade a $20 Amazon gift card and name my firstborn Pixel.
Meanwhile, I'll be here refreshing my email with the enthusiasm of a kid waiting for Santa. 😭
EDIT: Received a code and traded it for the promised 20$. Thank you
