Ordered my 64GB Space Gray Cellular model this morning for in-store pickup. This feature seems to be working for the cellular models now.

I just got a tracking number, they're individually shipping my iPad to my store! I figured it would come in a mass shipment.

If the cellular iPad you want shows up on bestbuy.com and allows you to add it to your cart, in-store pickup is a viable option now.

Just ordered the same as you did online. It accepted the code on the coupon and took off 10%. It said I could pick up on Friday. I'll take my Air in and make the trade for another $301 plus the $50 coupon. It's nice when a great deal comes along! :apple:
 
No issues using the movers coupon and the 3X bonus my best buy points. Saved on the initial purchase and will get over $30 back in certificates. Works for me!

Love this thing so far! I can't describe its speed. It's so much faster than my rMini. It's a lot faster than my 6+ too.
 
Did you guys trade in the iPad first or go and pick up the Air 2 and then go to trade in?

YMMV of course, but I did the trade then went back to pick up the Air. Though I first stopped in the iPad section to make sure they had the model I wanted in stock, and to ask them to hold it for the 10 minutes it took to complete the trade (they only had 3, and I didn't want them selling out before I got one).
 
BB refused to let me use both discounts

I got the $185 trade in on a 3rd gen iPad and a $50 extra coupon towards the iPad Air 2. But I was told I could not use the movers coupon because they couldn't apply two discounts together.

Anyone else have this experience or know how to get redress after the fact?

I've done it twice now. Yes, they should have applied the 10% mover's coupon to the original price. Then apply the $50 coupon after that.

They can definitely do it. Have them scan the movers coupon and it will work. If they are persistent then come back the next day and try with a different employee.
 
$400 before taxes

$699.99 - $250 - $50 = $399.99

I thought I could get away with a 16gb iPad since I only use it for reading, surfing the net and apps like flipboard.

Unfortunately I was dead wrong.

Decided to go big and now when I travel, I can leave my laptop at home and use the iPad as a photo back up with the sd card reader.

Probably should have thought of that first but overall super happy with the new air 2.
It seems like you didn' use the movers coupon. It would have been another $50 off.
 
Just got back with my brand new 64 GB Silver iPad Air 2! Thanks to this thread I wound up spending only $230 for it, and it went flawlessly.

They accepted my 32 GB iPad Air without the accessories (didn't even ask me), the mover's coupon, and added the other $50 coupon on top of that.

Loading all of my apps on this beauty now, and can't wait to use this bad boy!

Nice! It would not accept my coupons online. I've heard that some mover's coupons work online, and in some regions they are not compatible. You are one of the lucky ones!

Just depends on the type of mover's coupon you get in your region. Looks like VA gets the good ones.
 
For what it's worth ... when I traded mine in, I brought everything in the original box. When I received the offer price, I asked if the rest of the stuff (other than the iPad) mattered. The CSR said not at all, took the iPad out, then handed me the box back. You can bring everything just in case ... but ask before they bag it if you want to keep the cables.

I just left the cables in my car in case they demanded it. They didn't even ask and if they did demand it, I would say that it doesn't say it on the bestbuy online trade in estimator.
 
I have my collection of 30-pin cables with the duct tape around the 30-pin end, all ready to go. They can have 'em all. (I will try and keep the charger though.)

Just got an email, my iPad has shipped, in-store pickup, ordered Sat.

I must be missing something as I dont see an option for in-store pickup...
 
Slick as butter! Traded my Air 32gb, got $50 promo and movers deduction. They brought my gold Air2 64gb to the counter, paid the balance and out the door in 15 minutes. This really is the greatest deal, thrilled I was able to take advantage of it.

As for the new iPad? Perfection. Easily the best iPad I've ever had and I've had all of them.
 
I accumulated some GC and just picked up air 2. I had air months back and I decided to get air 2. I love it.
 
So all the space grey iPad Air 2's are sold out everywhere...and now backordered on their website. I guess nobody wants white

I had a black one preordered and got tired of waiting. Picked up a silver one yesterday...No regrets here...Movies and photos both look great and not as many fingerprints either.
 
My Best Buy couldn't find the $50 trade in coupon. Nothing printed when I traded. They ended up just taking $50 off and then applying the 10% movers. So it all worked out.
 
Traded in my 16gb iPad 2.

$200 off was more than I could have sold it for.

They asked for the charger though. I was bummed about that.
 
I didn't get the movers coupon but I did keep my brand new unused charger and cable. For as much bad publicity as Best Buy seems to get, they've really stepped up their game as of late.
 
I think "Staindsoul" might be up for MacRumors "Post of the Year" award for starting this thread! A lot of people saving a lot of $ on a new Air 2!

Ha! I appreciate the love. I have taken away so much from these forums over the years, glad I could share good information as well. #

I agree, if I didn't read it here, I wouldn't have known about this. Thank you.
