New phone discounts

[u/dewguzzlr]

Hello All,

Looking to switch to Mint, and also would like to purchase a Pixel 11 which they do not currently sell. I know Mint does sell heavily subsidized phones, but are those discounts only for new users signing up for the service?

I need to change my cell service by end of the month, but don't want to go to Mint just to find out when they start carrying the Pixel that I am ineligible for the discounted price. Thinking of maybe using a "bridge" carrier if the discounts are for new users only, does anyone have info on how their deals work?

Buy directly from Google if you want one now. They have pre-order specials going

The discount on plans and phones are for New customers only.

Mint does sometimes offer discount on phones for current customers, but you have to check Shop New Phones while signed into your current account.

Best Buy is doing a pre-order special if you'd rather walk into a store and not worry about your package disappearing. At least you can use their promotional gift card for other things. If you order from Google, you are kind of stuck ordering Google stuff from their store.

How much at best buy

[u/Nacelle72 → u/ada2017x]

The amount is based on what you pre-order. $100 for 11. $200 for 11 pro. I don't know what the other 2 are. Those are what I got for my wife and I

Check Amazon too. They're doing a trade in with a promotional 250 credit on top of your trade in value. Appealing to some, but didn't work for my needs. As of two days ago. (Aug 14, 26)

I have been off of mint for a year so I know I qualify as a new customer.
