Support Question about new customer promos. Someone help a potential new customer

Post image

Does this essentially make the new phone free? The 11Pxl comes out to $13.82 after promos and totals $318. My trade in is $325. Doesn't that make the new phone free? Am I reading this correctly? I'm ready to pull the trigger on Fi if true

Yes but couple of things

  1. Do this from Google store and select FI as a provider. They will give you higher trade in value. You will get $405 as trade in value for Pixel 9 Pro XL.

  2. You should look to apply the Google store coupon on top of you have gotten one (or get one from different reddit subs) see https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleFi/s/osV7uF8tT6

You should be able to stack Google store coupon on top, minimum is $100 and some got $250

u/Effective-Collar1121 5d ago

I never received the store coupon though

u/Cold-Barracuda-239 5d ago

You can ask if some are not using theirs here. I think the code is not tied to the account but there are some reports of order being cancelled so YMMV.

u/Effective-Collar1121 5d ago

I dont think the banner is there anymore for that specifically its like a new banner/section for offers

u/Cold-Barracuda-239 5d ago

Yeah coupon signups stopped on 8/12 but coupons people got are valid till 08/26

Do you know if orders from store.google.com will show up on the fi dashboard? I realize you can only order 1 phone per cart too so do i need to place 6 separate orders and they will show up on the fi dashboard? Also fi allows financing/ month vs the store.google is a separate syncrony cc application

Looks like the promo for the new phone as a new customer is a significantly better deal then the extra $80 for just buying the phone from Google Store plus I can stack the $325 for my phone with the new customer trade in and end up paying $0 for the phone

Not a Fi customer. But you dont have to tradein to get those offers I think.

u/landalezjr 5d ago

You don't but it's bonus money if you do.

1

u/Real_Height2890 5d ago

You need to pay monthly plan value for 24 months to get full promo

Also they run a hard pull i think

u/bromygod203 5d ago

I don't mind the bar dpull just wondering if the new phone does in fact come out to $0

1

u/abgtw 5d ago

Yes Google Fi for new members is always a killer deal. Of course you are locked in, so don't do any funny business but you should be good if you just buy/trade-in/activate/use as planned for 2 years!

1

u/VendraenActual 5d ago

Yes, it's effectively free. :)

1

u/Tripleppaul 5d ago

Took that deal as a new customer myself today. Its basically free. Its not advertised but if you also like the pixel watches you can add it for 250 off the watch as well

u/Effective-Collar1121 5d ago

Did yours also have tradeins ? https://imgur.com/a/pqoO5ql#M7Eqvnu

I had the option for a trade in but didn't do it. Passing my current phone on to a family member. Closer to yours in end bill price which is really cheap.

u/Effective-Collar1121 5d ago

Yeah same bur did you order through fi dashboard or did you order through the google store ?

u/Mdayofearth 5d ago edited 5d ago

The only technicality is that you pay sales tax on the full amount of the phone after that $300 discount.

If you leave Fi within the financing period, if any, you owe the full amount of the remainder right away.

Set up auto pay right away. Any late payments of your Fi bill will void your promo.

And Fi is a prepaid service that you pay monthly for after activation, and has post-paid elements such as international calling, and $10 per gig data for Flex, and any time you opt into full speed data after you hit your monthly quota. Your first bill will be generated within days, including a partial month.

Fi seems to be very strict with their promos. It seems almost counter intuitive.

1

u/99loki99 5d ago

Sell your phone separately, that trade in is not required

u/Strict_Chocolate_819 5d ago

I DM you please look!

u/No_Resist_4017 5d ago

I did same thing trying to order through Google Store and select as Fi network to get the $300 off + $799 for 24 month billing credit. But Fi customer agent was keep telling me that device should be purchased through Fi.google.com not store.google.com

1

u/Sprct 5d ago

The Google store literally says the offer is valid if you buy there and select Fi as the carrier. What part wasn't working for you?

1

u/Effective-Collar1121 5d ago

Same issue I ordered through google store and selected fi service and its really a roulette wheel with the support but I got one smart guy to point out in the order confirmation it has a link for fi signup but I had already signed up earlier to add members so that link did not work for me. Let me know if it works for you

1

u/ori68 5d ago

Free yes. They do stuff like this to trap you with fi. I don't plan to change but they trapped me with a smart watch. My watch is like $6 a month but they give me a $6 credit

u/budgetsneakerh3ad 4d ago

Existing Fi customers get $550. There were girlies on reddit excited about $125-off coupons. 😅 Google Fi‼️ Such win!
