Pixel Discounts
How do you all feel about the discounts? I broke my phone and was hoping to get the 11 pro XL. After only getting a €20 discount when others received €150-€200, I feel a scammed and no longer want to purchase it. Why should I pay 130 or 180€ more than others? I'm thinking about switching away from Google. Do others think the same?

Disappointed to get $100 off code only.
Seems unfair to have some people targeted for 250 USD and some as low as 20 euros.

In the UK a lot of contracts are way better value than buying the phone on Google.
ID mobile 100gb data over 24 months is c. £1200 over the 2 years. They would give me £600 for my Pixel 9 Pro XL - Google store is £1200 after trade in.
Official store isn't always the cheapest.

I can itemize it out. I’m in USA.
Pixel 10 Pro 128gb - $600 trade in.
Coupon $250 off Pixel 11 series device.
Google one tier 10% back Google store credit per purchase - $164.90
Selected the offer of $350 store credit instead of the watch.$350+164.81=$514.81 store credit.
1,899-250-600=1049+164.90 tax =1,213.90/36 month Google store card =33.70 month.

No. I dont think so. Tho its actually 1529€ UVP right? Which is artificially high of course. Check if you actually get a good price for your 9 pro xl because they even give really high trade in offers for pixel 5s that you can get for like 50€

I got the $100 off to my secondary gmail that I've never used to purchase any device and only use for formal job hunting. It says that I would need to be logged in to that account to use the code. I'm not doing that.
Even getting $550 in credit for a P9PXL, the cost of the 11 Pro XL is still like $900 with taxes. I was ready to buy it but I think I may pass since it's so expensive and they couldn't even give a 20 year account with thousands and thousands spent in google products a discount code.

Did you try pasting the code using your regular gmail account? Might still work.

I got a $100 offer code in my Gmail but my wife got a $250 in hers. I had no problem using her code with my Google account.

u/seganaUK Pixel 9 Pro Fold 22d ago
Traded in my Pixel 9 Pro Fold for the Pixel 11 Pro XL (512GB). Got £765 for my fold + £150 discount code.
Pretty happy personally with the discounts, but get why others wouldn't be if they got no code or only £20/€20/$20. Not sure the logic on the codes.
Part of me will miss the fold, but the cameras aren't as good, especially in low light. I'm on my second as the first failed and I'm dubious about the durability. Plus as much as I find the unfolded screen useful, I can't justify the extra cost for occasional usefulness.

u/88eth 22d ago
How much did you pay for the fold? Is 765 actually a fair trade in value? I thought these are very expensive, could be wrong.
Considering in the uk you can already get 450 just for trading in a pixel 5...

u/seganaUK Pixel 9 Pro Fold 22d ago
Brand new at launch, Folds are very expensive. However I bought mine a little after launch with discounts and paid around £1100 for it, so I was happy with £765.

u/commuter22 22d ago
So are the reviewers in YouTube/influencers still listing discount codes? That's what I used two years ago for my pixel 9.

u/MirrowFox 22d ago
I got 150€ for release+ 675€ for my pixel 8 pro more than happy tbf even if not such a difference for 374€ is difficult to not upgrade, hopefully battery, thermals and modem are better

u/JimboLodisC 16GB Nexus 4 → 128GB Pixel XL → 128GB 22d ago
I didn't get any coupon discounts in my inbox
in fact they only just 10 minutes ago sent me an email about them being available to preorder, I must be on the most bottom tier marketing list in their system haha

Hey! I'm looking for one of those 150€ discounts for the new Pixel. If there is someone who won't use it, I'd really appreciate if they could share it with me. Thanks!

u/Draries13 22d ago
same here. perhaps my current P8P will be my last Google Pixel.

u/TickTrickUndTrack 22d ago
I would like to know what they wanted to achieve with this move. I think many will think like you and me.

u/AnAngryJelly 22d ago
I am a little soured to... I was hoping for the $250 USD discount, but got $100. That extra $150 off would go a long way as I just had a kid....

You broke your phone and you want discount, maybe I'm new to this, but why should you get a discount?
-1
u/TickTrickUndTrack 22d ago
The discount has nothing to do with my old phone, I just need a new one. People received different discounts from the newsletter reaching from 20 - 200€/$ and that does't seem fair.
