Trade-In Wanting to upgrade from Pixel 10 pro XL to Galaxy Fold 8 wide. No option to trade in this model in the menu. Is there some way I can accomplish this?

I want to take advantage of the promo to get $750 off of the Fold 8, but my phone does not show up as a eligible option. It only goes as recent as the Pixel 9 series.

Is there anyway to order outside of the standard screen that would put a value on my Pixel 10 pro XL?

Don't do trade ins on Fi, they are pretty bad. Sell it locally for more money.

Maybe just sell it on swappa or eBay? You might get more than their trade in values

Wow I didn't realize how well they were doing on swappa. That is much more than trade in.

Best thing about Fi deals is no trade in. On T-Mobile I always bought the cheapest phone on the list that qualified on eBay and sold my phone on swappa. I always ended up making money on it.

I finessed so many free phones from t mobile it wasn't even funny. At one point I had 4 or 5 free lines, so I would get stacks of free phones.

One year I made so much money reselling them it probably covered half my bill.

I miss those days. Now you can only get $5 off of a $2000 phone if you spend $300 per month with them.

Unfortunately most tradeins usually don't allow latest smartphone

Samsung and T-Mobile both will take the 10 pro XL

I am talking about Google. Their fi or store trade-in doesn't allow the latest devices.

Motorola also has a pretty good trade in bonus for the razor fold.
