They're not removed form the list (proof here), but you have to pick up the ones with the "go blu" green & blue sticker on them. For the trade-in most are still priced at 2 for 30, so rather than pay $9.99, you'll get it for $7.99 each. Their official reason (or at least the one they gave me) is that the ones that are labeled $9.99 are of their own numbered inventory, so you're not allowed to combine the two offers. That's why you won't find any of the $9.99 ones with a trade-in sticker on them.

A few in here got away with it at the start of the sale because the staff didn't know or didn't care, so YMMV.
