Went to Best Buy today and got the Google Pixel 6 with Virgin (had to port from Fido since they have it in stock nor did anyone in the GTA) for $25 + $40 plan for 15 months. They gave me a $300 gift card, $100 for random dead phone in my desk as a trade in, for the geek squad off they gave me $50 and a case, original google charge with cable and screen protector. Pretty sure Virgin allows them to give up to 350 but make you get the geek squad offer for the other $50 or just $300.

For the cellular plan, I thought the promo was table stakes $40/month for 12GB (unlimited call/text). Then if you ported from Rogers or something you got it down to $37.50/month for 24 months, with the second line $32.50/month for 24 months.

So on the device side, I would count that on the warmer Black Friday deal side. But I think you could get a better deal with the cell plan. Maybe you can call to cancel and speak with retentions to pull it down further.

Sorry I just double checked, it is $56 including tax. Total monthly amount is $109 including tax. But $37.50 is still much better, thank you for the tip

Yes, the Source (Yonge/Eglinton) told me that Boxing Day would be Iphone 13 512GB for $1555 with $415 credit + $100 GC and a trade in if it qualifies.

Sorry, not sure about stock. I didn't ask and I don't work there lol

Hope this helps, best of luck

Thanks a lot for your info! Today I got this great deal from Eric after burning much gas on the highway. Left msg to him in the morning and he called me back in the afternoon and also helped me to reserve their last iphone 13/128gb for me. He is very professional and knowledgeable. Other 2 staffs there are also friendly and helpful.

Just curious, as to what phone did you use, and for others which phones did Best Buy accept for trade-in? Our Best Buy rep told me it has to be in their system and show value of more than zero Dollars. She was like anything higher than iPhone 7

Thanks so much OP! Saw this last night and literally have called/messaged 10+ different stores today and one came through literally at 8:30PM PST with 4 lines porting over.

It was at the same location as you as well (Kingsway/Broadway mall). Did everything over the phone.

Worked out to $57.10/month. Rep said we can merge lines after first month which will bring three of the lines down another $5/month.

Unfortunately the rep did say that today was the last day for the deal - hopefully for anyone who missed out there will be a similar deal coming out with the upcoming holidays.

After not taking the $20/m for the iPhone 13 on Friday, I went to several kiosks this afternoon and they all said the $12.50/m off was only available in the GTA - looks like they read this thread

At the last one, I still got the standard plan offer of $10/m off for 15 months, but during the whirlwind the manager gave me $10/m on the iPhone 13, which he honored 'cause he wrote down on paper. So I got a few cents better deal than the OP

Two phones later he almost gave me $20/m on $200 down for the 12 Pro Max but stopped to check the paper before I could say yes to the contract

Good man.

I talked to them this morning - they said no more iPhones available (only some 64gb ones available). What did you end up getting?

Moved a line from Freedom to Virgin at TMS.
They had one iPhone 13 in stock but decided to go for a last iPhone 12 64GB (open box) that they had as it worked out to be $500 cheaper than the former.
Received 300,000pts + 100,000pts (old cracked screen phone trade in) + 50,000pts (open box discount) + Free Otterbox case ($56 value). All points were added to reduce tab during the process.
Ended up costing:
$42.83 including tab for months 1-15 and
$52.83 for months 16-24.

I have Pixel that won't turn on, OnePlus One with semi functional screen, and Nexus 5. Do you think these would qualify for 100? That's the only thing I'm missing thus far in these trade ins.

You didn't qualify for the winback from virgin?

Your monthly cost included taxed?
