Thanks, ordered the 13" M4 16/256 using the PayPal 20% rewards Pay-In-4 promotion. Was planning on having BB price match Amazon, but this made it easier.
Does anyone know if I can use the PayPal payment in 4 at the local Best Buy store. The reason I'm asking is because I have a trade in. TIA!
You can place an online order using PayPal for in-store pickup with an in-store trade-in. You get charged the full price immediately (or the 1st installment of pay-in-4), and get a rebate for the value of the trade-in.
Whether you lose the bonus cashback for the value of the trade-in is the big question. You most likely 'should' based on terms and conditions, but could be a ymmv situation based on how the refund is processed? If you're able to sell elsewhere, or have other potential use for BB credit, you're probably better off doing the trade as a separate transaction,

This is already a wild deal, but combined with the 20% paypal deal it's insane. Do the points show as pending immediately upon purchase? Also did it mention the 20% when you chose pay in 4? I just see the pay in 4 option with the payment amounts, no mention of 20% back. Just want to confirm.

But BestBuy is not part of the 'pay later' shops list in PayPal

so did the PayPal Pay in 4 thing work? If I buy a base model Macbook Air M4, then 20% off with this PayPal thing will take it down to $600 right? And the 20% off/back will be in the form of "Paypal points", which I presume I can convert to cash and send to my bank? If so, that's a pretty slick deal. Just wanted to confirm as I haven't used Paypal that much.

That is correct! However, I haven't used Paypal all that often either and was denied after the soft-pull check (even though I have great credit). YMMV in obtaining that deal, but hope you get it!
Does anyone have experience with Best Buy trade-in policy? Mail-in or bring it to local store? How many days do I have to return the trade-in device? TIA.

Sweet! I picked up an open box excellent from the deal about two weeks ago, but this is roughly ~$150 cheaper! Wish they would just price match me instead of having to order to second and returning the first, but here we are.

13" M4 24/512 for $924 + tax = $991 (open box excellent)
