The good thing about Best Buy is you do the trade in when you pick up, so they'll credit you immediately after the transaction closes.
Last time I did a trade in by mail, the status didn't update for weeks causing anxiety.
As for the base Pixel 9, you can get the $799 credit with a few other trades including the base Galaxy S23.
| Towards Pixel 9 Pro XL | Towards Pixel 9 | |
| Galaxy S23 Ultra | $1,099 | $540 |
| iPhone 14 Pro | $1,099 | $630 |
| iPhone 14 Pro Max | $1,099 | $720 |
| Galaxy S23 | $799 | $799 |
| iPhone 13 | $535 | $799 |
| Pixel 8 | $440 | $440 |
| Pixel 8 Pro | $625 | $625 |
The Google Store has, for the most part, slightly higher trade-in values compared to Best Buy, but there are some exceptions as the retailer is clearly hoping to get some upgrades going. Keep in mind too that these trade-in values can be stacked with $100-$200 gift cards that you’ll get with the pre-order of Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL, respectively.
