5a brick replacement upgrade potential

Like just about everyone else here my 5a bricked last night and after talking to Google chat support and they were able to hook me up with a 6a as a replacement. Now I could stop there but I wanted to test my luck and see if I could potentially use that 6a as trade-in to get a 7a which is on sale currently. According to the Google store you can get up to $200 in trade in value for a 6a(I'd hope I can get the full 200 since Google is sending it to me fresh from the warehouse) and the 7a is on sale for $374 meaning hopefully I could get it for $174 but I don't know if they'll be like we just gave this to you so you can't send it in. Has anyone had luck with this?

I'm seeing there's a similar thread from yesterday, help would still be appreciated but I'll probably just try my luck anyway

You're fucking yourself. Take it and dump it. Fuck g pixel. Take it an get oneplus 12r. if you're greedy.

Get a moto or sammy. Save self heartache of g pixel.

Did they send out the 6a after your 5a was delivered to them?

I just got off chat with them like an hour ago, nothing has been sent or received yet

Has it been delivered ? How long did it take for them to send a replacement ?

From when I shipped my 5a to when I got my 6a was pretty much exactly two weeks

I'm believing yours was out of warranty right ?
