Not sure what to do. Kind of want to upgrade to the Pixel 9 Pro as I want the better "guts" and camera than my current Pixel 8 (non-Pro) has, in a smaller size than the XL version.
Right now I can buy it through Google Fi, which is the service I use, and get $350 off the price. If I trade-in my Pixel 8 256GB, they'll give me $190. Total "savings" would come out to $350 + $190 = $540 "off" the MSRP. $190 for the trade-in is kind of whack, as it looks like they sell for around $400 in my version. So I could also sell it myself for $350-400 + get the $350 off = $700 "off" the MSRP.
or
I can buy it through the Google store for full price, but they just sent me a 10% discount code which knocks off about $100, plus I have $60 in Google store credit, plus they'll give me $490 for my Pixel 8 trade-in. Total "savings" would come out to $100 + $60 + $490 = $650 "off" the MSRP. j

I could wait to see what the Black Friday deals are, but part of my Google store credit expires Nov 21st. I bought the Pixel 8 256GB last year for $749 minus $160 "discount" + $300 trade-in for my Samsung S22.
