When making a purchase from the Google Store and considering including a trade-in, it's important to be aware of the potential risks involved. While Google is currently offering attractive trade-in values for certain devices towards the purchase of a new Pixel 9 series phone, there are some key factors to keep in mind.
While the trade-in values may seem enticing, the process is managed by PCS Wireless, which has specific criteria for evaluating the true value of traded-in devices. If a device is deemed to be worth less than 75% of the estimated value, it will be returned to the buyer with no credit issued. Additionally, if the value of the trade-in falls between 75% and 99% of the estimate, the buyer will be required to pay the remaining amount owed on the new Pixel 9 model.
It's worth noting that similar terms apply to trade-ins made through the U.S. Google Store as well. Therefore, consumers should exercise caution and fully understand the terms and risks associated with including a trade-in before making a purchase.
