Official Announcement on Shipment Status, Promotion, Activation, and Trade-In Questions

Hi everyone,



Many of you have reached out with questions regarding your recent orders, so we wanted to try and save you some time with this post. Please see below for clarifications related to order shipment status, our recent promotions, activation issues, and trade-ins.



Delayed device shipments and notifications

If you're wondering when your phone will arrive, rest assured that you'll receive an email with the details of your delivery date. Please note that unfortunately Fi Support does not have any additional information on your shipment, so you do not need to reach out to Fi support for additional details. Once you receive your order tracking number, this will be your best indication of package delivery date. We will always update you with any changes to your delivery date via email. Thank you for your patience.



Price protection for Black Friday promotion

For those of you that purchased a device as a part of our Black Friday promotion (on fi.google.com: November 23rd - November 27th; or on store.google.com: November 22nd - November 27th) and attempted to contact us on November 28th to receive price protection-- this will be honored (even if you weren't able to speak with Fi support directly), so long as you satisfy the activation, service, and longevity terms of the Travel on Fi promotion.



You do not need to contact us to receive price protection. We will be sending out an email to all applicable customers within the next week confirming this.



Activating your 'Compatible with Fi' device

Check out our help article here about activating your new device on Fi.



Wondering about your eligibility for the 11/28 Travel on Fi promotion?

If you were eligible for the Travel on Fi promotion and successfully completed a purchase on fi.google.com or store.google.com, you should have received an email confirmation from us today.



Please note: This email contained outdated information regarding trade-ins. Please see below for the updated information.



Trade-ins and the Travel on Fi promotion

If you initiated a trade-in alongside a device purchase on November 28th, you do qualify for the Travel on Fi promotion. You can redeem a travel gift card in the amount you paid for the device, excluding taxes, which is the phone price. You'll get your trade-in value as a Fi credit, in addition to the travel credit.



Please note: This answer has been updated from our previously posted FAQ. We heard your feedback and apologize for any confusion this may have caused.



---

Additionally, we know you may have tried to contact us recently and we want to sincerely apologize if we weren't able to chat with you directly. We've been experiencing much higher volumes than we're used to, so we appreciate your patience.

We always want to make sure we're doing the right thing, so we're working hard to address your questions as soon as possible and make sure it doesn't happen again.

This offer is available for new Google Fi customers as of 11/28/18 12:00 AM PT and existing, active Google Fi customers. If the customer is new to Google Fi, the customer must transfer (port-in) their current personal number over to Google Fi during sign up. The number being transferred must be currently active and have been active with the previous carrier and the customer since 8/28/18 12:00 AM PT.


from newtonfb :
NEW GV numbers or numbers not created before 8/28 DO NOT qualify. Even though the green checkmark shows up, you wont get promotion. I just chatted with Fi support. Dam.

FAQ from johnsapples119:

• If you are new to Google Fi, you need to port in a phone number that is active and was created before 8/28. Yes, Google can determine the date you last ported your phone number over and how long it has been active for. If your # hasn't been active since before 8/28, they can see that and will have every right to deny your reward. If you do not port a number, they will have every right to deny your reward. You can check your number for yourself @ https://apeiron.io/lrn (see "ported_on_date")
• Tango gift cards do not expire and are 1:1 (1 tango = $1)
• If you are an existing Google Fi subscriber, you just need to purchase a new phone to be eligible
• If you pay upfront in full for the phone, there is no hard credit pull. If you finance the phone, there is a hard credit pull.
