Google Nexus 9 Best Buy $100 trade in credit

Re: Best Buy $100 trade in credit

OK, so the Best Buy promo is good, but the HTC 50% off promo (that hardly anyone was able to take advantage of) was great.

1) Who thinks that HTC will do good on their promise to do a better job with future promos?
2) Who thinks that the Nexus 9 will go back on sale from HTC (or anyone else, for that matter) for $200?
3) Who thinks that the Nexus 9 will sell for close to $200 for Black Friday?

1) and 2) They'll probably do a better job but don't count on them putting any more units up at that price. They'll just let you know when they are all sold out.
3) No way. Maybe $300ish with rebates or gift cards. All HTC was doing with their $199 promo was generating buzz. It only cost them a few hundred units.

Just got the deal on a black 32gb, probably the last one. Saw on the screen only like 1 or 2 of black models at any store, but mostly 0 on hand. Used the $50 gift card for the purchase. Not bad for a Nexus 7 8gb model trade in.

I also just used the trade-in promo to grab a black 32GB model. I asked the rep in the store if they were getting any white models in or could order me one and he told me that they were showing as unavailable for the store. Meaning you could order them through the website, but they couldn't get them in store. Seems kind of odd, but whatever. This was the only N9 my Best Buy had and I figure even if there is holiday promotion, it won't be more than $100 off. I've been wrong before though...

I took avantage of the promotion yesterday. Traded in a Samsung Galaxy tab 2 7.0 and got the last 32gb in black that my Best Buy had.
Out of curiosity, if you decide to return the nexus 9, how would they do it since you had to give them your old device?

I attempted to trade in a Galaxy Tab 7.7 at my local best buy yesterday only to be told that "they don't have a pawn license from the city so they are only allowed to trade in items that were purchased there". Sounds pretty stupid to me.. they swore up and down that another best buy would be able to trade it in for me but I was already an hour from home and the next closest store was another 45 minutes away. Tried to set the deal up online today only to see that it ended. I truly, truly hate best buy 99% of the time. I think at this point though I'm just gonna wait a bit.. every android tablet I've bought has had extreme price drops within a month after I purchased it.

Bought a gpad 8.3 full price brand new.. price took a ****. Bought a galaxy tab pro 8.4.... price took a ****. Now I'm basically trying to sell my surface pro 3 and my galaxy tab 8.4 pro and buy a nexus 9 and pocket the rest of the cash as I really don't need the both and the surface is overkill. They're up on swappa if anyone is interested =)

My guess would be that if you return the N9, you would just get a Best Buy credit for the purchase price. I can't imagine they would give you your old device back.

Yes you could use the $100 off the N9. I did it Friday. Got $50 ff my old Samsung 8.9 and the cover fits my N9 perfect

 

[mched]

Which cover is it and could you post a pic of the Samsung cover on the nexus?

Amazon.com: rooCASE Executive Portfolio (Black) Leather Case Cover with Landscape / Portrait View for Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 GT-P7300 GT-P7310: Computers & Accessories not available for purchase anymore it seems. Good job i kept to an 8.9 tablet then lol

This deal is back on. I cashed in on it the first time with a 2012 N7.

Now pull that post down so no one else snags my N9!

Thanks so much for that tip! Exactly what I needed/wanted. And note that they weren't in stock, but I have a week to find one, which may be a challenge this first week of Christmas shopping, but I have three stores easy to hit, and more not far off....

Just an FYI, I was able to trade this in for the discount. I paid probably $40. For this

I'm now the proud owner of a $300 Nexus 9! Thank you everyone for helping make that happen. Charged up on the way home, now to double tap....
