My 3a with a very cracked screen was processed and they gave me $300 instead of the $295.

The phone needs to be able to turn on to be eligible at all. If only the screen is broken, the trade in value is reduced slightly, amount depending on model.

Can anyone with a cracked/not functional screen verify that they did indeed get the full $295 quoted by Google? Looks like these elevated trade-in prices will extend until Sept 24th (but no free buds or $50 store credit): https://9to5google.com/2022/08/08/pixel-6a-trade-in/

is that just for adding a new line though?

It is for porting a new number in. You can get a new number on google voice, unlock it for $3, and immediately port over.

It is paid in monthly credits over 2 years, I guess so if you bail on them early you owe them a balance. Not an issue for me though since I use xfinity for internet, and $13/month for 1 GB shared is a no brainer. I rarely go over 1 GB since Im almost always on wifi.

got P6a – no issues – so much faster than 4a and getting used to a big screen again!

I have a 4a still in the box because I bought it before reading that it doesn’t support wireless charging. Thought for a minute here that I could trade it in for 6a and get that feature. But, unbelievably, even the 6a apparently doesn’t support it

You sure? The pixel 3 supports it.

use magnetic charging cables – sooooo much better than wireless charging – you can actually charge in your pocket! it won’t slip off the platform in the car! no lint in the charge port!

Trade in value is back, but buds are now full price?

Yes,
I don’t see the earbuds included

180 after tax for a new phone + earbuds is too good to pass. FYI, AMEX counts google store purchases as “streaming”, so I got 6% back on my BCP

Don’t lie you bought it due to the cash back and sweet deal rush, sneaky how they get you to buy. Imo ~200 is too high for this one.

I don’t understand why Pixel 3a is worth $300 as a trade-in while Pixel 3 only $100. Back when they were released Pixel 3 was the flagship phone retailing at twice the price of Pixel 3a. Is this how Google is punishing folks who managed to get Pixel 3 for free ?
