You can even download all the photos and videos you have in your Google photos account currently (Google takeout makes this easy), delete them from Google photos, copy them to your pixel 1 camera folder, and they'll upload back into your Google Photos account, but take up no space.
And if anyone wants in on this, just buy a used pixel 1. All photos and videos that upload to Google Photos from a pixel 1 take up no storage space on your account, regardless of what device you used to capture them. It's free lifetime unlimited original quality photo and video cloud storage.
At some point in the future the OS on the original pixel will become too old to run the latest Google photos app, and this loophole will end, but anything you upload until that time is free to store forever.

You'll need your IMEI from a phone and your Costco membership number.
Edit: for what it's worth, it took me 36 minutes in total, but I called as soon as they opened and got through immediately. So that's basically the total time it takes and then add in your on hold time. Don't forget Pixel phones have a HOLD FOR ME feature!
Do I select Any Trade Promo Smrtphne ? Also can phone with purple screen be traded ?
There almost no reason to do these transactions at an T-mobile store now, even when you go in store the first thing they ask you to do is sign into the "T-Life" app.
That being said this applies more than the Pixel 10, I was able to see the $800 discount on the Fold etc. And I have an ancient plan.
In the end I upgrade through Costco. Got a great rep upgraded 3 phones only took ~28minutes. I told him I don't have the IMEI with me and he just entered dummy numbers for me and go everything through.

Can they come back a couple months later and say my line no longer qualifies and kill the credits?
If you have an old plan that you really treasure, you may not want to risk it to save a few bucks in the short term. Use your best judgment and risk tolerance to decide if a deal like this is for you.
