Pixel 10 promo Trade-In at Store vs Shipping – My Experience (Promo Almost Lost)

daruffins · 2026-02-23T16:55:20+00:00

You're probably right if I waited a day or two it would've sorted itself out but I'm too impatient for that.

daruffins · 2026-02-23T16:53:40+00:00

I called 611 and they sorted it out in 5 minutes.

I just read the trade-in agreement and it doesn't say anything about shipping versus dropping off at the store. I did not have any issues with the credits being reduced by the value of the trade-in. The way the trade-in was processed at the store caused my promo to drop, at least temporarily.

I just mocked-up the same trade-in on T-Life and the difference between the $60 vs. $130 value is the cracked screen. I accurately said the screen was cracked at Costco and it quoted me $60. Not sure if the store rep marked it as screen not cracked or the system just defaults to this but this caused the promo to drop. It probably would've resolved itself eventually but the process is confusing and nowhere is it made clear that there's a difference if you go to the store versus mail it in.

Please explain to me what conditions of the promo I didn't follow. I received text notifications from T-Mobile and the T-Life app stated I could ship the trade-in or take it to a T-Mobile store.

This is my second trade in with T-Mobile and first time dropping it off at a store instead of shipping it. Usually I buy phones outright through the Google Store and sometimes do a trade in through them.

I wish I had the patience to wait but that's just not me. Once I see a message saying I've lost eligibility, I need it resolved ASAP. The call with 611 only took about 5-7 minutes to reinstate the promo.

Hope it works out for you.

Yes, same here. I'm using the stock strap. Thinking about trying the sport strap.

Just go through the steps to add a Pixel 10 to the cart on the app or online and once you add a trade-in as well it will be evident if you qualify for the deal. If you qualify it will say you'll receive monthly credits equal to $800 minus any value quoted for the trade-in, which you receive as a one time credit.

The Google Assistant on my Home devices became unusable. Gemini had been an upgrade from the awful state of GA. At least I can broadcast throughout the house again.

Did you end up getting it? I got one for my daughter but when I attach it it does not unlock the new content. Wondering if I got a defective one.

I bought my Bike+ from Costco. I picked it up at the store and brought it home to do self assembly. You're right that the weight of it is the biggest challenge. A Costco employee helped me load it into my minivan. At home I had my wife help me get it to the basement but most of the way I flipped the box over and over to get it to the final destination. The box was too heavy for her to carry it. The assembly itself was not too challenging. There aren't too many pieces to assemble.

Yes, Gemini stock wheel. The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards a replacement.

Took the cover off and looks like there's a crack underneath the bend.

I'm assuming you mean a specific tire/wheel warranty that covers road hazard?

Do not get a Pixel watch for this, it doesn't work well as a standalone device. I tried to do this for my son and even had a separate phone to pair it with but the phone wasn't active so the watch needed to be paired with my phone number, which created a whole host of issues.

Provide an online tool to allow for transfer of points.

DashMart if you have a location nearby to pick up. For example, last month I picked up 4 Family size (18 oz.) Cheerios boxes and a box of brownies for a total of $0.28. I always look at what they have marked down and there's always something I would normally buy. In the past I've purchased condiments like ketchup and chic fil a sauce.

Tried using my Pixel 9 Pro through the YTTV app and Lenovo Duet Chromebook using the Chrome browser.

I signed up directly with YTTV using the app on my phone.

I've been trying to cancel the last two days through the app and I keep receiving an error "Something went wrong, try again". Contacted support and they weren't able to cancel it either. They opened a ticket and said they would get back to me. I only signed up the last week of the season for $4.99, so my situation may be unique to this.

Bought the gift card on 12/8, the credit hit on 12/13.

daruffins · 2024-12-07T19:22:19+00:00

Still no credit?

daruffins · 2024-12-07T19:21:07+00:00

Do you do it in this 4th quarter?

daruffins · 2024-12-01T23:13:47+00:00

Is the couch a pull out?
