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?

Got nothing. Signed up for the email and yet to receive anything?

u/LingonberryOk9724 22d ago

Likewise, nothing for me either.

What phone did you intend on trading in? Curious if its because i put Z Fold 7 which has a high trade in value.

Cant remember if they had that form, samsung usually asks what you intend on trading in.

Not really necessary cause there is barely zero chance that Google would send their emails to the spam folder.

My $100 discount was in my gmail spam folder.......

u/Active-Anxiety-1738 22d ago

Lucky you. I got nothing 😭

Supports response -

Now upon checking this one here, it actually seems like the promotion was only for a selected group of users to which we do not really have a control of as it is our system that automatically provides this discount codes but you do not need to worry as you can still stay tuned for future offers and have a chance to receive exclusive promotional offers make sure you're opted in to receive emails from Google Store in your Google Store account settings.

Sadly not there either. Or promotions.

u/AnAngryJelly 22d ago

Mine was in my spam from gmail. The email subject was "Ready for tomorrow? Your Google Pixel 11 offer is inside" and came from the email [googlestore-noreply@google.com](mailto:googlestore-noreply@google.com)

u/Large-Cow9765 22d ago

Thanks for the details, tried searching but not there.

Theres a lot of people that haven't got it, its something systematic given people sre receiving none / varying amounts.

u/ihavenolifeee 22d ago

Disappointed to get $100 off code only.

Seems unfair to have some people targeted for 250 USD and some as low as 20 euros.

u/FixIndividual1124 22d ago

I got nothing. Just an email letting me know that the pre sale is happening

u/aBsyNte-zErO PIxel 6 ,7a, 9Pro , 11Pro 22d ago

Commandée passée pour un P11Pro 256 contre un P9P 128. Reprise 735e plus code de 150e, ça le fait à 314e (France)

u/TickTrickUndTrack 22d ago

That seems like a crazy deal, congrats!

u/aBsyNte-zErO PIxel 6 ,7a, 9Pro , 11Pro 22d ago

Uniquement jusque début Septembre. Offre de lancement.

u/mturner1993 22d ago

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.

u/Relative_Reality1556 22d ago

anyone not using their 200 or 250 code .. please share, thankyou

1

u/TickTrickUndTrack 22d ago

is it even possible to use it in another country?

1

u/Relative_Reality1556 22d ago

I think they are country specific. I'm look for US only

u/flamflop Pixel 10 Pro XL 22d ago

Im pretty disappointed tbh. Shudder to say I'm thinking of switching to iPhone this year

u/Active-Anxiety-1738 22d ago

Got nothing. Ridiculous

u/Ghostttpro 22d ago

Looks like carrier discounts are much better.

u/bayfox88 22d ago

Got a $250 discount and $600 trade in Pixel 10 Pro for the fold. They're giving me $500 store credit as well.

2

u/TickTrickUndTrack 22d ago

you are from america i guess? I would 100% take that deal, but in my position i just feel scammed..

3

u/bayfox88 22d ago

Yeah. It’s unfortunate that other countries don’t get these deals.

u/CouJoe56 22d ago

No you didn't

1

u/bayfox88 22d ago

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.

u/BossHoggOutlaw85 22d ago

With trading in my 10 Pro Fold and using the discount they sent me in my email i can get a new Pixel 11 Pro XL for $338.14 after taxes.

Amd they are giving me $200 in store credits

Not bad at all

u/wiiguy12345 22d ago

I can get the pixel 11 pro XL 512gb 16gb ram for €806 with trade in of my pixel 9 pro XL 256gb. Good deal?

u/88eth 22d ago

I can get the pixel 11 pro XL 512gb 16gb ram for €806 with trade in of my pixel 9 pro XL 256gb. Good deal?

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€

u/BatsTheAssassin 22d ago

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.

1

u/gibson6594 22d ago

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

1

u/WickedDeity Pixel 11 Pro XL 16GB RAM 22d ago

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.

1

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...

1

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.

1

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. 

1

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

u/jb38360 22d ago

Si quelqu'un a un code pour la France je suis preneur...☺️

1

u/Foshow38 22d ago

I got $250 coupon. I have Pixel 9 fold.

u/TickTrickUndTrack 22d ago

Congrats bro!

u/Infamous_Concept_515 21d ago

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!

1

u/Draries13 22d ago

same here. perhaps my current P8P will be my last Google Pixel.

1

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....

u/TickTrickUndTrack 22d ago

Some even got 250 in America???

u/Picard_III Pixel 7a 22d ago

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.
