Deal Details
Doesn't seem to be shipping right away (mine was ETA of Jan 7-8).
My total was $459 + $28.69 (6.25% Tax), so $487.69. for the UNLOCKED version of the Google Pixel 4a 5G.

Use promo code HOLIDAY2DAY at checkout for free 2-day shipping.

Sign up for monthly Google One 2TB plan (9.99/mo) to get 10% google store credit ($45.90) from this purchase. Just remember to cancel the Google One subscription after you get your credit in a month.
Edit: Some people have said it may require subscribing to Google One for 2 months. Check out their comments

Also opted to trade in my old Pixel 2 128GB for $175 refund/credit.
Edit: This portion of the deal seems to be dead now, so YMMV. Checked Pixel 2 128G trade-in value on Dec 11 and it's down to $47. It was $175 on Dec 10.

Edit: A couple people have pointed out that other stores (Amazon, Best Buy, B&H Photo) have it at the same price of $459 (some without tax). As far as I can tell these don't offer an option to trade in old phone for credit, but if you aren't looking to do that, solid options.
Best Buy [bestbuy.com] ($459.99)
Amazon [amazon.com]
B&H Photo [bhphotovideo.com] (w/ free case) $499.00
Target [target.com](full price $499, but $40 GC)

If you bought this phone at a higher price recently, try contacting the store you bought from for an after-the-fact price match/refund. Some people have reported success in the comments.

Amazon hasn't done price matching after purchase for years.

I think there is a code on the google store website to get free 2 day shipping
I didn't do 2-day free shipping, the phone was supposed to be delivered Dec 19th-20th. I just got an email that it will be here tomorrow. so... looks like they are shipping 2-day air anyway. . .
I've already returned the Pixel 5, hoping the 4a 5G will be more like my Pixel 2 XL.

Pixel 5 is a good phone and I enjoyed it, but the screen is too small, especially when you lose so much on the top, terrible sound, disappointing on phone calls. Great photos and battery life. Fingers crossed Google delivers an actual Flagship phone in 2021.Please

I'm replacing my Pixel 2 XL with the Pixel 4a 5G mainly for the camera and battery life.

I've been using one all week. Easily full day battery life. Camera is great. The RAM management is so much better too. I had a 3xl and it would force close every app but the last one I used.

Well the 4a 5g is only a slight bit longer than the pixel 5, so you might be disappointed in that regards. See my previous post regarding a comparison of pixel 3xl/4a5g/5

Screen is bigger than 2XL though i compared them side to side yesterday. Very nice phone the other Pixels are too small 4a is miniscule and 5 is marginal at best..

I bought this with the higher trade in value offered a few weeks ago.

Was on the support chat with google and they were able to issue me a refund for the difference. I also confirmed that this won't impact the trade-in. I'll see in a week as I just sent them my phone.

Comparing to the 3xl which is what I had vs 4a 5g, I think I like my 3xl a little more than the 4a 5g. Perhaps I've had it much longer and it just seems to fit and feel well in my hand.

Things I like about the 3xl.
Size it's almost the same, I'd say the 3xl is a little bit wider as some pointed out.
The screen on the 3xl is much nicer and sharper in my opinion.
I do miss the 2 front facing camera.

But here is what I like about the 4a 5g:
The 2 back cameras is a nice upgrade.
Photos are better on the new phone.
Battery life seems to last longer but that's probably because it's new.

I'm not sure if I prefer the punchout or the cutout.

In that case, you should re-buy and then return bulb

How long do you have to keep the service? I already have service with another provider, but just want the phone from Google.

TMobile deal was the best. Added a line to the Simple Choice Plan for free for life (normally $10 per month) and TMo gave this phone for free (credits over 24 months) and plus $100 for bringing over a line.
Only paid $40 in taxes and had to trade in a iPhone 7 which I had purchased from Cricket Wireless for $35.
Final outcome: Free Google Pixel 4a5G and $25 in pocket and never have to pay for this line.

Anyone else feel like this is the price going forward? It seems like a small enough dip that they'll hold here at least through the holiday buying season. I haven't exactly seen the 4a/5G/5 blowing away the market and could see them trying to adjust for that. Happy to be wrong, just speculation!

Guys try this: I started online chat with target guys and asked him to match the price with Amazon and Google. He told me Target offered $40 gift card so can't match the price but to retain a customer he is price matching along with $40 gift card. I pulled the trigger immediately.

Debating between the regular 4a vs 5G for my mom

She mostly uses it to take pictures , someone help me decide .
Check the 5G rollout in your area.
If it's non existent, get the 4a.

I didn't buy it because it's a 5G phone. I got it because it's larger than 4a and 5.
