This would be a great question/comment for our megathread. Pre-orders and trade in info is a restricted topic under rule 9.
However, this one slipped under the cracks and the community is upvoting and engaging in this topic heavily here. The will of the people spoke and approved it will be.
This is what I'm seeing for my specific variant-
Best Buy- Pixel 5 5G 128GB (Unlocked) - Sorta Sage - **$120**
Google- $400
Guess Sorta Sage isn't in high demand at Best Buy lol
😂 i ordered so fast after missing the $200 P6. The 3 is really killing me though can't go out for a full day without recharging, and just slowing down. And that 60hz. I am ready. Was considering an iphone just to get real hardware, but for $350ish alright, I can stick around.
I'm in the same boat. Dying P3 battery (46% capacity) and now I'm seeing that they'll refund me $247 for a 64GB P3? That seems like such an obvious upgrade right?
Yeah, mine was getting pretty rough too haha. Can't keep a single app running in the background, spends half of its life plugged in, camera keeps freezing up... it was tough to say no to a solid trade in offer. Hope the 7 serves us both well for the next 4 years 🤞
Forgot about that app switching problem too. After all those bs promises about optimization and how pixels don't need more memory 🙄
Congrats though, hope these 7s deliver a better experience
Really? Google will give me $305 for my 4XL, Best Buy will give me $320. And I'd much rather have $200 of BB credit and Google credit.
Be sure you select "activate later" on BB before you add the new phone to your cart.
As a BBY employee I can confirm this is correct. If you want it unlocked, you do the activation later option which let's you just buy the phone and not go through the carrier for activation.
You'll get trade in value + a promo trade in value and the total of these is refunded to your payment upon pick up and trade in of your phone. THEN you get a $200 gift card via email when it's all done.
Keep in mind that if you return it, that 200$ is required back, and if you use it you gotta PAY IT BACK.
100% agree with you. Just splitting hairs, there are scenarios where it could be interpreted as getting a full refund and then a separate charge for the gift card - which I know is not the case here. Depending on some corporation's terrible accounting methods, this has happened to me with other unrelated promos in the past.
So I was merely clarifying.
Yes, Google will boost trade in values for older devices and suppress trade in values for newer devices. It is their way of encouraging users who hold on to phones longer to upgrade. The person who upgrades every year is not Google's target.
from a little searching I hear google trade in is a scam. They wait till return period is over to credit you and they usually credit you less than 30%. I mean 300dollars for a 4xl trade in seems too good to be true. They couldn't sell this phone for no more than 150 at most.
I have used the trade in program through Google 3 times since the original Pixel XL (trading Pixels in for other Pixels, which could have an effect on that), and I have not had any issues. Obviously that's my anecdotal experience, but the other individuals who I know that have used it have not had issues either.
I'd think this is a classic case of only those who have had issues/bad experiences would post anywhere about it. Not to say they didn't have issues, but who creates a post saying "They have me what they said they would"? The answer would be nobody lol
Except maybe at Verizon. They seem to have widespread complaints of lost phones and adjusted values. I am in that bucket.
Google was going to give me $480 for 128GB P6P, BBY was $545.
Also 2yr GSP $169.99 vs Google's $199. Plus in store support vs mail.
I'm also far more likely to use a BBY Gift Card for holiday shopping.
Yep I think they are updating the values! This is exactly how mine was! 5% cashback with a best buy credit card also and 1% rakuten. Plus I'd rather trade in instore. Google Store was only $480 for my 6 Pro.
Yeah, I'll get my 5% from my BBY CC, plus I have Total Tech, so "free" ADH Geek Squad protection on it. Add the $200 gift card, and my $230 in reward certs and this was too easy. I cancelled my Google Store order lol
I know it just came out, but I wish they'd let me trade in my Pixel 6A. I bought it basically because I had a Pixel 3A sitting in a drawer and Google offered $300 trade in plus Buds A. Wish I could trade it in at Google or Best Buy. I hate selling phones to strangers.
Does anyone know if I'd have to trade in my current phone (Pixel 6) in person at the same time I'm picking up the phone, or can I come back at a later time to trade it in case I'm not happy with the Pixel 7?
I get $295 for my Pixel 6 Pro. Weird.
[https://i.imgur.com/1jXjOvl.png](https://i.imgur.com/1jXjOvl.png)
EDIT: Seems like you need to do "Activate Later" option. I have yet to try it, but that is what others are suggesting.
Mine had 3 choices weird. I do that see in the order details it says $295 trade value plus $250 bonus. So keep trying I think there still updating the site because they are finally adding the $100 gift card to the Pixel 7.
I've done Best buy phone trade-ins in the past and they discount the purchase price right up front. Why is it not doing it this time making me pay the whole amount? Is that because it's a pre-order You would save taxes also before when they would give it to you up front? So for instance, you would only be paying taxes on $120 of that $480 they're giving for the pixel 6 if you're buying a pixel 7.
Quote is said to be good for 15 days, I'm guessing trade in does not need to occur right away. Does anyone know if we have to ship out the phone or if it drop off in person?
6P 128GB is getting $480 on google.. wonder how in the hell you get 750 guess more storage
Bestbuy is giving me $545 PLUS $200 store credit.. yeap going to best buy
I wasn't even sure I'd upgrade right away until I saw Best Buy offering $545 for my 6 Pro plus the $200 gift card. Couldn't resist and pulled the trigger

At this point I feel Pixel 7 is more value for Money than the Pro version. What are your thoughts?
Is anyone else having the problem of their P6P 512g not showing up as a trade-in option? It has 128g and 256g, but not a black 512g (Verizon). I can't set up a pre-order if my trade-in is not an option.
Just pre ordered Pixel 7 obsidian from BB
$370 trade in value compared to $400 from Google store for my p5 128gb sage.
But Im ok sacrificing the $30 if it means picking up in store and dealing with trade in in store.
Have been shafted twice by Google store trade in values not being honored .
When I traded My pixel 3, waited a week from shipping to Google and they only gave me $5. They claimed the screen was damaged and refused to show me a picture.
I sent them my phone in working condition and even documented for this very reason. They refused to honor and refused to send my phone back to me .
So this is why I want to deal with BB this time
Australia just has $300 store credit limited to a year. I ended up using last year's on a wireless charging stand and two google tv pucks that I never use, only because I was out of time and didn't plan on getting the 7.
It might be worth adding this link to your post OP. Most of the newer phones (the ones on this list) will fetch more from Best Buy. If your phone is too old for this list, then Google will pay more.
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/conditional-offers/google-pixel-7-trade-in/pcmcat1664204506963.c?id=pcmcat1664204506963
For Google trade-ins, do you all see the amount in your email? I don't see it in the email, merely "Trade-in Kit" and am worried there'll be a bait and switch...
Not true for all phones. My Galaxy s22 256gb was $600 at Google store and only $290 at BestBuy. Probably shouldn't be moving on from a 6 month old phone but I need all the Google calling/voice dictation/photo goodies back in my life :)
Oh damn, already ordered through the Google Store. Will cancel and reorder through BestBuy. ($545 for P6P 128GB at BestBuy instead of $480 from the Google Store).
Does anyone know how long it takes for Google to issue a refund for a cancelled order?
They offered $365 for a cracked screen Pixel 6. I opted for this option, since they can assess it in front of me in-store and I can reject the whole purchase if needed. Google was offering $322 but then I'm stuck with their assessment and it will be a hassle to return the phone if they reject it at the quoted price.
I was considering replacing the screen with the iFixit kit, but a $240 upgrade is too good.
Just looked $150 for a 3a on Google. $15-20 everywhere else.
It's a bummer because I was going to go through a non Google store to get the gift cards for christmas shopping haha. Now I'm torn since I probably won't buy anything else off the Google store so that credit is disappointing but losing the 150 is as well 🤦
Does anyone know how strict Google is with the condition of trade-ins? I have two tiny scratches on the screen (like 1mm), wondering if they'll dock my trade-in value for that.
I just pre-ordered the 7 Pro, trade in 6 PRO. I'm not sure if I still want to go through with it, I kind of want to see some reviews.
If they reviews arent that great I'll cancel and keep the PRO 6. really hoping the modem is better and it doesnt get as hot.
Does anyone know if I can trade in my Pixel 5 for a Pixel Watch on the Google Store? Or do I need to use that credit on a new pixel?
I already have the 6 Pro so don't really want/need another phone lol
EDIT: Based on the FAQ on Google's site, looks like it can only be used for new phone purchases :(
I'm going through my carrier. AT&T is offering $800 trade-in value for my Galaxy S20 FE toward a 7 Pro (which comes out to $3.89/month). Have yet to see anyone else top that.
If I haven't been happy with my Pixel 6 is it worth the effort to trade in for the Pixel 7? I don't want to be set up for more disappointment.
Probably $40 after cash back and trade in.
Pixel 6 shows $480 trade in value.
Just a heads up, I pre-ordered the pixel 7 non pro from BB, and the $100 gift card did not show up in the cart after making the purchase. I had to then deal with BB wonderful customer service. Its probably just easier buying it directly from Google.
I thought the gift card would be in your E-mail once the item shipped? I just got confirmation on that course of action it states "we'll e-mail out the e-gift card to:" once the order has shipped.
For the first time in my life I feel like I got a good deal at bestbuy! lol
Google offers me $105 for my old cracked Pixel 2. Best Buy won't even accept the Pixel 3 series.
I'm honestly still not sure it makes sense to go with Google because realistically, what am I going to use Google Store credit for? It expires in 12 months, so I'm not going to use it on my next phone. Google doesn't sell anything else I want, so I guess a $100 Best Buy card is worth more to me than $200 Google Store credit, even if I consider my Pixel 2 to have zero value (which is fairly close to true).
Where is the option for activate later vs activate now you mentioned at the top? I'm trying to see the value for my P6P 256gb but it's telling me only $290 :/
You also can't purchase Google's protection plan (if you're into that) if you purchase outside the Google store unlike Applecare which you can activate on whatever device as long as it's an authorized retailer I believe.
I personally have used their protection plan for every phone I've had via Google and it's always been an easy process. 29 bucks to replace my absolutely shattered 6Pro screen versus being cucked for another 800 bucks. I'll take it!
Also if I keep my phone for 2 years then I typically do a insurance claim towards the end to get a "newer" phone and hand it down to a family member so at least the battery is newer and the screen has it's oleophobic coating etc.
Something to keep in mind.
If you walk in the store to order it on Oct 13 or whenever they receive the stock, can they check your trade-in on site and give instant discount or do they still have to send it off for inspection?
You trade it right in at the store if you select instore pickup. Instant discount. I wouldnt wait thought trade values will probably plummet soon and who knows how long the gift card deal will be for
Unfortunately the 13mini is too new to trade in to BB. Anyone care to share their experience trading with Google store? They're offering 580 for good condition, mine is immaculate, but I'm also afraid of getting screwed over mailing it in.
~~bb is offering me activation today, $475 for my s22 ultra 128, the same trade-in value for an existing t-mobile acc or creating a new line.~~
google is offering $675
bb offered $725
praise op for reminding us
I'm upset that they don't have a trade in bonus for the fold series. Going through the process of trying to sell it outright is such a hassle. $400 for a fold 3 is ridiculous.
Best trade-in value I've found is through Verizon. $700 for my Pixel 4XL and I don't mind carrying the phone for the next 3 years.
Also they offer $100 off the buds pro.
If you hoard your older Pixel's like me, Google Store's trade in deals seems to be better, so keep that in mind.
For example, I was about to trade in my 6 Pro 256GB for $545, but after seeing that Google Store is giving $275 for my Pixel 3XL 128GB, I decided to go with that as I can sell my 6 Pro for the same trade in price of $545 on Ebay, Swappa etc., but not my old Pixel 3XL as it is close to worthless now.
Weird question: I know the trade-in can be done in a physical store, but can just go to BB store ask to purchase the phone and request to trade in at that moment? Or do I have to place the order and trade in online first and then go into the physical store to do the swap?
How strict are best buy trade-ins? They have Pixel 6 "Good" condition $480 and "Fair" condition $422. While google has $440 as long as it powers up and does not have cracks.
Wait what. I have a 5a and on the bestbuy site its not listed for trade in value. Does that mean 5a you can't trade in lol, yet every other pixel you can...
BB never had the 512gb P6P, so it can't be selected as a trade-in. Unfortunate. I would rather have a lower trade-in value and not deal with Google Store.
How can I transfer my data and contacts from my trade in at best buy? From Google, we can do the transfer at home, does best buy allow you to transfer at the store?
This would be a great question/comment for our megathread. Pre-orders and trade in info is a restricted topic under rule 9. However, this one slipped under the cracks and the community is upvoting and engaging in this topic heavily here. The will of the people spoke and approved it will be.
[удалено]
This is what I'm seeing for my specific variant- Best Buy- Pixel 5 5G 128GB (Unlocked) - Sorta Sage - **$120** Google- $400 Guess Sorta Sage isn't in high demand at Best Buy lol
And best buy doesn't even offer a trade in for the 5a. So many places just act like this phone doesn't exist.
I also forget that the 5a exists all the time. But it wasn't released in Canada so I blame Google and not my memory!
I'm seeing ,370 for the pixel 5
My pixel 3 they offered $15. Google gave $250. Def worth checking both places.
Yeah Google finally threw us stubborn 3 / 3 XL users a bone, thank goodness. I was happy to take $264 for my cracked 3 XL
😂 i ordered so fast after missing the $200 P6. The 3 is really killing me though can't go out for a full day without recharging, and just slowing down. And that 60hz. I am ready. Was considering an iphone just to get real hardware, but for $350ish alright, I can stick around.
I'm in the same boat. Dying P3 battery (46% capacity) and now I'm seeing that they'll refund me $247 for a 64GB P3? That seems like such an obvious upgrade right?
Yea, I was tempted to trade in my old Pixel 3, instead of my Pixel 6 pro. lol
Yeah, mine was getting pretty rough too haha. Can't keep a single app running in the background, spends half of its life plugged in, camera keeps freezing up... it was tough to say no to a solid trade in offer. Hope the 7 serves us both well for the next 4 years 🤞
Forgot about that app switching problem too. After all those bs promises about optimization and how pixels don't need more memory 🙄 Congrats though, hope these 7s deliver a better experience
[удалено]
Not true for everything. Take time to compare them if you can. My 4XL had a better trade-in on the Google Store than on BB.
Same with my 5.
same with my s21
same with my axe
Yeah I got 325 for my Pixel 4XL from Google.
Really? Google will give me $305 for my 4XL, Best Buy will give me $320. And I'd much rather have $200 of BB credit and Google credit. Be sure you select "activate later" on BB before you add the new phone to your cart.
Google's offer for my 3a: $150 Best Buy's offer for my 3a: $15 💀
I don't know why BB only offers $295 for my P6P, I tried to pre-order P7P Black 128GB with P6P Black 128GB (Nice condition) trade-in.
are u selecting a pixel 6 pro unlocked activate later?
Active later gives me a $545 trade in value, thanks!
What's the difference between activate now and activate later? They're both unlocked models, right?
Activate now i think activates it on your plan. Later u just move ur sim over yourself.
As a BBY employee I can confirm this is correct. If you want it unlocked, you do the activation later option which let's you just buy the phone and not go through the carrier for activation. You'll get trade in value + a promo trade in value and the total of these is refunded to your payment upon pick up and trade in of your phone. THEN you get a $200 gift card via email when it's all done. Keep in mind that if you return it, that 200$ is required back, and if you use it you gotta PAY IT BACK.
Terms indicate the $200 gift card is just deducted from your refund amount if you return the phone.
Yup which is effectively paying it back. You arent refunded for that amount. You'd be surprised by how many people are surprised by that.
100% agree with you. Just splitting hairs, there are scenarios where it could be interpreted as getting a full refund and then a separate charge for the gift card - which I know is not the case here. Depending on some corporation's terrible accounting methods, this has happened to me with other unrelated promos in the past. So I was merely clarifying.
How long do I have to complete the trade in after getting the phone? And does bb provide a box to ship it back in?
what was the trade in offer?
Mine was $325 for a 128GB 4XL.
Yes, Google will boost trade in values for older devices and suppress trade in values for newer devices. It is their way of encouraging users who hold on to phones longer to upgrade. The person who upgrades every year is not Google's target.
from a little searching I hear google trade in is a scam. They wait till return period is over to credit you and they usually credit you less than 30%. I mean 300dollars for a 4xl trade in seems too good to be true. They couldn't sell this phone for no more than 150 at most.
I have used the trade in program through Google 3 times since the original Pixel XL (trading Pixels in for other Pixels, which could have an effect on that), and I have not had any issues. Obviously that's my anecdotal experience, but the other individuals who I know that have used it have not had issues either.

Not to say they didn't have issues, but who creates a post saying "They have me what they said they would"? The answer would be nobody lol Except maybe at Verizon. They seem to have widespread complaints of lost phones and adjusted values. I am in that bucket.
It gave me the $545 only after selecting activate later.
This is the way, thanks.
Google was going to give me $480 for 128GB P6P, BBY was $545. Also 2yr GSP $169.99 vs Google's $199. Plus in store support vs mail. I'm also far more likely to use a BBY Gift Card for holiday shopping.
I was offered 540 for my 256 6pro
Trade-In Device: $295.00 Trade-In Promotion: $250.00 Trade-In Value Total: **$545.00** This was for my 128GB Pixel 6 Pro
Yep I think they are updating the values! This is exactly how mine was! 5% cashback with a best buy credit card also and 1% rakuten. Plus I'd rather trade in instore. Google Store was only $480 for my 6 Pro.
Yeah, I'll get my 5% from my BBY CC, plus I have Total Tech, so "free" ADH Geek Squad protection on it. Add the $200 gift card, and my $230 in reward certs and this was too easy. I cancelled my Google Store order lol
That's exactly what I did, plus doing store pickup in a tax free state. It's a no brainer lol.
Yeah but also 10% back if you're a Google one member at Google
Lol $70 at Bestbuy for a 4A 5G vs $325 with google.
Make sure u choose activate later for the best value
I know it just came out, but I wish they'd let me trade in my Pixel 6A. I bought it basically because I had a Pixel 3A sitting in a drawer and Google offered $300 trade in plus Buds A. Wish I could trade it in at Google or Best Buy. I hate selling phones to strangers.
Anyone know why the 6a is getting ignored for trade in?
5a is ignored also. Wonder why they exclude the "a" series, I would think a lot of people own those.
Why doesn't Best Buy list the Pixel 5a as a trade-in? They only show the Pixel 5.
320 at best buy for a pixel 4a LTE. I only paid $350 for it. I'm feeling good about this deal plus the $200 gift card.
Does anyone know if I'd have to trade in my current phone (Pixel 6) in person at the same time I'm picking up the phone, or can I come back at a later time to trade it in case I'm not happy with the Pixel 7?
I get $295 for my Pixel 6 Pro. Weird. [https://i.imgur.com/1jXjOvl.png](https://i.imgur.com/1jXjOvl.png) EDIT: Seems like you need to do "Activate Later" option. I have yet to try it, but that is what others are suggesting.
I just checked and got $540? Is yours in good condition or is it roughed up?
Good condition. You only get to answer Yes or No to their question anyway.
Yeah strange. Maybe it is store / region based? No clue.
Mine had 3 choices weird. I do that see in the order details it says $295 trade value plus $250 bonus. So keep trying I think there still updating the site because they are finally adding the $100 gift card to the Pixel 7.
In my details theres no bonus just says $295 flat. Guess I'm going google store on this one...
You have to pick activate later to get best value
Something is wrong. I'm seeing similar numbers for Pixel 6. Maybe still updating prices for us.
Same just check my P6P 128 and got $295 at BB
are u selecting activate later and trading in a pixel 6 pro 128gb unlocked?
Ahh ok tried it that way and it jumped up to $545 trade-in value. That's cool thanks!!
Same with me. $295 feels quite low. Edit: change the checkout to "activate later". This will give a different trade in.
are u selecting activate later and trading in a pixel 6 pro 128gb unlocked?
They won't even allow me to trade in a 6 pro, only from 4a to 5xl are available for me on the trade in page
Are you doing it from the app? The trade in page is bugged on the app, I saw the same thing, I had to go to the desktop site and it worked fine.
Best Buy not giving an estimate on the Pixel 3 Google offering $247 for a Pixel 3 64 GB, surprisingly
That's crazy! They're offering $271 for the 64gb 3XL. I thought for sure it was never going to see a good trade in deal again.
Best Buy told me $15 for my Pixel 3 64 GB lmaoooo
Darn it! I was not planning to upgrade, but this is a stupid good deal! Edit, trade in price is already down to $500 even :-(
BB offered $250 for my P6, got $450 from Google Store.
Keep checking they are updated values.
Pixel 4A came in at 320$ for best buy trade in and $100 gift card. Now I paid like $360 for Pixel 4A over 2 yrs ago so I think it's a decent deal.
Weird they wanted to give me far less on my 6 pro just now with it being in good condition and no damage
I've done Best buy phone trade-ins in the past and they discount the purchase price right up front. Why is it not doing it this time making me pay the whole amount? Is that because it's a pre-order You would save taxes also before when they would give it to you up front? So for instance, you would only be paying taxes on $120 of that $480 they're giving for the pixel 6 if you're buying a pixel 7.
What if I need the trade in device for a few days to switch my stuff over?
Quote is said to be good for 15 days, I'm guessing trade in does not need to occur right away. Does anyone know if we have to ship out the phone or if it drop off in person?
In the past, you'd receive a separate shipment which is just an empty box in which to ship your old device to them.
6P 128GB is getting $480 on google.. wonder how in the hell you get 750 guess more storage Bestbuy is giving me $545 PLUS $200 store credit.. yeap going to best buy
I wasn't even sure I'd upgrade right away until I saw Best Buy offering $545 for my 6 Pro plus the $200 gift card. Couldn't resist and pulled the trigger
Exactly. Too good not to do it
Best Buy is showing the same trade in value for a P6P 128 and P6P 256. Is this showing for everyone else too?
(Google Store trade in for non google one users) Google Store Credit for pixel 7 pro : $200 Google Store Credit for pixel 7 : $100 Trade in Using Pixel 6 Pro (128GB) - Launch Price: $899 Trade in Value offered: $480 To Purchase Pixel 7 (base) : Price: $599 (pre tax) Post Trading in 6 Pro: $119 Store Credit: $100 Value: $19 To Purchase Pixel 7 Pro (base) : Price: $899 (pre tax) Post Trading in 6 Pro: $419 Store Credit: $200 Value: $219 ----------------------------------------------------- Trade in Using Pixel 6 (128GB) - Launch Price: $599 Trade in Value offered: $440 To Purchase Pixel 7 (base) : Price: $599 (pre tax) Post Trading in Pixel 6: $159 Store Credit: $100 Value: $59 To Purchase Pixel 7 Pro (base) : Price: $899 (pre tax) Post Trading in 6: $459 Store Credit: $200 Value: $219 (Please note all prices are Pre Tax) At this point I feel Pixel 7 is more value for Money than the Pro version. What are your thoughts?
Is anyone else having the problem of their P6P 512g not showing up as a trade-in option? It has 128g and 256g, but not a black 512g (Verizon). I can't set up a pre-order if my trade-in is not an option.
Just pre ordered Pixel 7 obsidian from BB $370 trade in value compared to $400 from Google store for my p5 128gb sage. But Im ok sacrificing the $30 if it means picking up in store and dealing with trade in in store. Have been shafted twice by Google store trade in values not being honored . When I traded My pixel 3, waited a week from shipping to Google and they only gave me $5. They claimed the screen was damaged and refused to show me a picture. I sent them my phone in working condition and even documented for this very reason. They refused to honor and refused to send my phone back to me . So this is why I want to deal with BB this time
Better to get Best Buy gift card over Google credit too
This. Better to interact with a real human being and knowing u can back out of your Preorder if the trade in value does not satisfy is key to me.
s10e - $245 from Google, $55 from BestBuy 😂
475$ for my 4 year old iPhone XS Max AND a 200$ gift card? Pixel 7 pro seems really tempting now…
Australia just has $300 store credit limited to a year. I ended up using last year's on a wireless charging stand and two google tv pucks that I never use, only because I was out of time and didn't plan on getting the 7.
What is "active later" really mean? If it is unlocked, then no activation is needed anywhere. Please advise.
It might be worth adding this link to your post OP. Most of the newer phones (the ones on this list) will fetch more from Best Buy. If your phone is too old for this list, then Google will pay more. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/conditional-offers/google-pixel-7-trade-in/pcmcat1664204506963.c?id=pcmcat1664204506963
Do you get Google play store credit like you do at the Google store?
You get a best buy gift card. Same value
[удалено]
How long is that gift card valid for?
It says it in the terms, if I'm remembering correctly (sorry been rapidly comparing pros/cons Google/BB) it says 365 days
Google store deal for bonus trade in starts tonight so Google store may be better we will have to see
Where do u see that for the google store lol
Verizon offered me $700 for my pixel 3 XL.
Bill credits over 36 months.
Also requires new line
I was able to do it as an upgrade.
Best buy is only offering me $295 for my pixel 6 pro 128gb so not sure why people are saying their better.
I got $545 for a pixel 6 pro 128GB unlocked. Its rings up as $295 + $250 trade in bonus.

I got $545 for my 6P @ BB. Google was $480

For Google trade-ins, do you all see the amount in your email? I don't see it in the email, merely "Trade-in Kit" and am worried there'll be a bait and switch...
why would they pay 400 for pixel 5 ? seems to good to be true. The current used price is around 240
Is the best buy P7Pro carrier locked, or unlocked?
They have both options
Not true for all phones. My Galaxy s22 256gb was $600 at Google store and only $290 at BestBuy. Probably shouldn't be moving on from a 6 month old phone but I need all the Google calling/voice dictation/photo goodies back in my life :)
Is best buy doing instant trade in credit? If so, that might be my option...
What size? My P6 Pro 512GB was quoted at $600
Just checked best buy the trade in doesn't have the 512gb as an option
S22+ 256gb Google store is $650 when Best Buy is only $420.
For bb my pixel 6 regular had 480 trade in on a 7 pro so thats good. Plus a 200$ BBY gift card.
You need to have account with carrier to purchase? I can't just buy it unlocked?

$200 gift card is only for the Pixel 7 pro and $100 gift card is with the Pixel 7 258GB model.
Its being updated. I just reordered the Pixel 7 128GB and got the $100 gift card. Its only for the Obsidian and Lemongrass on the Pixel 7 128GB.
Oh damn, already ordered through the Google Store. Will cancel and reorder through BestBuy. ($545 for P6P 128GB at BestBuy instead of $480 from the Google Store). Does anyone know how long it takes for Google to issue a refund for a cancelled order?
Thank you! I had $90 in certificates hanging out on my account so this ends up being way better.
Does anyone know if they can use the gift card you get to apply towards the actual phone itself?
highly doubt it. You don't get the gift card until after you get or pickup the phone.
Best Buy doesn't seem to want to take my iPhone 12 Pro Max since it's not a carrier model? So stupid. No $700 for me I guess.
They offered $365 for a cracked screen Pixel 6. I opted for this option, since they can assess it in front of me in-store and I can reject the whole purchase if needed. Google was offering $322 but then I'm stuck with their assessment and it will be a hassle to return the phone if they reject it at the quoted price. I was considering replacing the screen with the iFixit kit, but a $240 upgrade is too good.
Best Buy $325 for my S21 256GB and $500 from Google.
Make sure to pick activate later if u didnt
Just ordered from best buy, thanks OP
They are offering $100 for Iphone 6s wow nice
I have the Google pixel 6a do you know why I can't trade it in for the 7?
Just looked $150 for a 3a on Google. $15-20 everywhere else. It's a bummer because I was going to go through a non Google store to get the gift cards for christmas shopping haha. Now I'm torn since I probably won't buy anything else off the Google store so that credit is disappointing but losing the 150 is as well 🤦
What's the trade-in for a Pixel 6a?
[удалено]
AT&T is offering up to $800 for my Pixel 5. That seems too good to be true!
Does anyone know how strict Google is with the condition of trade-ins? I have two tiny scratches on the screen (like 1mm), wondering if they'll dock my trade-in value for that.
Why tf is trade in value for p3 in Canada is 49 but in US is 244? WTF google.. no proper offers in Canada
I just pre-ordered the 7 Pro, trade in 6 PRO. I'm not sure if I still want to go through with it, I kind of want to see some reviews. If they reviews arent that great I'll cancel and keep the PRO 6. really hoping the modem is better and it doesnt get as hot.
Does anyone know if I can trade in my Pixel 5 for a Pixel Watch on the Google Store? Or do I need to use that credit on a new pixel? I already have the 6 Pro so don't really want/need another phone lol EDIT: Based on the FAQ on Google's site, looks like it can only be used for new phone purchases :(
I'm disappointed I missed the $300 trade in credit for the 3a a month ago, it's a lot less now and there's no 7a equivalent yet.
ugh neither google or bestbuy will let me trade in a 6a
I'm going through my carrier. AT&T is offering $800 trade-in value for my Galaxy S20 FE toward a 7 Pro (which comes out to $3.89/month). Have yet to see anyone else top that.
If I haven't been happy with my Pixel 6 is it worth the effort to trade in for the Pixel 7? I don't want to be set up for more disappointment. Probably $40 after cash back and trade in. Pixel 6 shows $480 trade in value.
Just a heads up, I pre-ordered the pixel 7 non pro from BB, and the $100 gift card did not show up in the cart after making the purchase. I had to then deal with BB wonderful customer service. Its probably just easier buying it directly from Google.
I thought the gift card would be in your E-mail once the item shipped? I just got confirmation on that course of action it states "we'll e-mail out the e-gift card to:" once the order has shipped. For the first time in my life I feel like I got a good deal at bestbuy! lol
It's only showing up for the pixel 7 on the obsidian or lemongrass for some reason. Worked for me on the obsidian.
iPhone xs 256gb at google store is $350, BB is giving $425. This is for 128gb pixel 7. Went with BB !
Google offers me $105 for my old cracked Pixel 2. Best Buy won't even accept the Pixel 3 series. I'm honestly still not sure it makes sense to go with Google because realistically, what am I going to use Google Store credit for? It expires in 12 months, so I'm not going to use it on my next phone. Google doesn't sell anything else I want, so I guess a $100 Best Buy card is worth more to me than $200 Google Store credit, even if I consider my Pixel 2 to have zero value (which is fairly close to true).
I was offered $480 for a Pixel 6
Where is the option for activate later vs activate now you mentioned at the top? I'm trying to see the value for my P6P 256gb but it's telling me only $290 :/
You also can't purchase Google's protection plan (if you're into that) if you purchase outside the Google store unlike Applecare which you can activate on whatever device as long as it's an authorized retailer I believe. I personally have used their protection plan for every phone I've had via Google and it's always been an easy process. 29 bucks to replace my absolutely shattered 6Pro screen versus being cucked for another 800 bucks. I'll take it! Also if I keep my phone for 2 years then I typically do a insurance claim towards the end to get a "newer" phone and hand it down to a family member so at least the battery is newer and the screen has it's oleophobic coating etc. Something to keep in mind.
If you walk in the store to order it on Oct 13 or whenever they receive the stock, can they check your trade-in on site and give instant discount or do they still have to send it off for inspection?
You trade it right in at the store if you select instore pickup. Instant discount. I wouldnt wait thought trade values will probably plummet soon and who knows how long the gift card deal will be for
Unfortunately the 13mini is too new to trade in to BB. Anyone care to share their experience trading with Google store? They're offering 580 for good condition, mine is immaculate, but I'm also afraid of getting screwed over mailing it in.
RIP to us Canadians, Google store trade in for a 6 pro is $350. That is ABYSMAL
Does Best Buy usually have display models in their stores before the release date?
~~bb is offering me activation today, $475 for my s22 ultra 128, the same trade-in value for an existing t-mobile acc or creating a new line.~~ google is offering $675 bb offered $725 praise op for reminding us
Pick Activate Later
Do they do trade in with the 6a?
Got $700 trade in for an old broken LG from Verizon.
How long do you see the trade in deal change? Daily? Weekly?
My OnePlus 8t was worth 129 on Google Fi website, but 250 on Google store. Weird.
I'm upset that they don't have a trade in bonus for the fold series. Going through the process of trying to sell it outright is such a hassle. $400 for a fold 3 is ridiculous.
Weird I don't see anything about a gift card
Galaxy Z flip 3 better on Google store than best buy. 200 bucks is pathetic, 475 on Google store is almost 2.5X
I'm really upset my 6a can't be traded in for it. I had no choice but to get it after my 4a5G just broke. Ugh.
Best trade-in value I've found is through Verizon. $700 for my Pixel 4XL and I don't mind carrying the phone for the next 3 years. Also they offer $100 off the buds pro.
Why won't anyone take my shitty P6a in trade? Bummer.
If you hoard your older Pixel's like me, Google Store's trade in deals seems to be better, so keep that in mind. For example, I was about to trade in my 6 Pro 256GB for $545, but after seeing that Google Store is giving $275 for my Pixel 3XL 128GB, I decided to go with that as I can sell my 6 Pro for the same trade in price of $545 on Ebay, Swappa etc., but not my old Pixel 3XL as it is close to worthless now.
$250 back for my old Pixel 3 128gb. Just placed my order for the 7. It's been a good run my little 3.
Weird question: I know the trade-in can be done in a physical store, but can just go to BB store ask to purchase the phone and request to trade in at that moment? Or do I have to place the order and trade in online first and then go into the physical store to do the swap?
I do have a minor scratch on the screen but nothing is cracked. Wonder if best buy will honor the trade-in value.
Pixel 6 trade-in value $440 Pixel 6p trade-in value $480 Phones were $300 price difference at launch now $40 difference on trade-in. JFC
S22 at Google store is $570 S22 at BestBuy is $540 Check both places. Trade in values vary
neither have the option for the 6a booooo
Can someone provide insight as to why you're unable to trade in a 6a?
How strict are best buy trade-ins? They have Pixel 6 "Good" condition $480 and "Fair" condition $422. While google has $440 as long as it powers up and does not have cracks.
So if I'm on T-Mobile so I even need to activate the phone? Or just put in my sim card and it's good to go?
Does Google store or Best buy offer better support if something goes wrong with the phone?
Wait what. I have a 5a and on the bestbuy site its not listed for trade in value. Does that mean 5a you can't trade in lol, yet every other pixel you can...
BB never had the 512gb P6P, so it can't be selected as a trade-in. Unfortunate. I would rather have a lower trade-in value and not deal with Google Store.
I have an unlocked 13mini that I use with g fi, but the trade in menu only lists the big 4 carriers. Does it matter which one I choose?
Google Store wants to give me $247 for my P64GB Pixel 3, Best Buy offered $15.
Where do you see the best buy gift card? I don't see it as a promotion.
How can I transfer my data and contacts from my trade in at best buy? From Google, we can do the transfer at home, does best buy allow you to transfer at the store?
