I have a P8Pro and it may well be worth the money to trade it in, especially to get a slightly more manageable sized phone.

I think it's a good deal. After-tax price is ~$1082, trade-in is $699, with a $200 store credit ($300 with a Google 1 sub), and $21 back from 2% credit card rewards. So ~$162 cost, which is not much more than the increase in trade-in value. Plus the 1 year of Gemini Advanced and maybe some YouTube premium months.

The main downside is that store credit expires in 1 year. Also I hate buying new phone cases.

Yeah, that sounds perfect. To go from my 256GB P8 to a 256GB P9 Pro would cost me about $610 + 10% tax after trade-in which I don't think I'll have the stomach for.
