If you are talking about the Moto G Power, the promotion says "Activate the phone on a new full service plan (data-only SIMs do not qualify) within 30 days of the shipment confirmation email and remain active on Google Fi with your qualifying phone for 60 consecutive days."
If I am not mistaken Moto G Power has a provision to be active for 30 days https://fi.google.com/about/promo...oto-g-play

Activate the qualifying phone on a new full service plan (data-only SIMs do not qualify) within 30 days of the shipment confirmation email and remain active on Google Fi with your qualifying phone for 30 consecutive days.

Read it carefully and you would notice that is the Moto G PLAY..... That isn't the Moto G Power. The Moto G Play is a lower budget version so they would only have 30 days for that cheaper phone. It is a google fi bill credit of service of $99 for the "free phone".

The Moto G Power (2020) at $49 is definitely better phone and better value than the Moto G Play (2021) at $99. Go with the Moto G Power or Stylus over the Moto G Play (2021).

That is the Moto G Power (2021) and that costs $199. It is only 30 days but you get $199 google fi credit for service. Go with the Moto G Power (2020) because it is cheaper and better than the Moto G Power (2021) as the HUGE ADVANTAGES are the 1080p screen and dual stereo speakers..... Forget about the Moto G Power (2021). For $79 more than the Moto G Power (2021), you can go for the Moto One 5G Ace and then get $279 google fi credit later. That is a pretty good deal if you transfer your regular phone number and use little bit of data.
If you are heavy data user, it isn't that good of a deal.

New to all this. So one needs a referral code before buying phone and signing up to get the free 2nd month?

Can I enter my ATT phone number and later use a different sim (from tello) to port to fi?

Fi is asking for a phone number to port while trying to check out

As long as you port a number in once you activate your new device, everything will be fine. You are not required to use the same number/account that you put in during checkout.

Since T-Mobile and Sprint have merged, not sure what value Google Fi brings, given there are so many cheaper MVNOs in the market.
This. I had fi for years. Just recently switched to mint. 4gb of data, unlimited text/talk for $15/month.

Compare that to fi. No data, unlimited talk/text for $27/month. Makes no sense anymore. Unfortunately, it took me too long to figure it out. Wasted some money with fi.

Mint uses tmobile so coverage hasn't changed. No issues so far.

MetroPCS also has a deal. I picked one up last night, $20 for the phone, $20 for activation, $40 for one month unlimited service prepaid, $28 tax and fees. Ordered and unlock code for $11. I can post back if anybody wants to know how it goes.

Not to pee on your deal OP, looks great if Fi works for you. I've had a problem with runaway data when I've used them multiple times.

Metro phone has minimal bloatware 128 gigs memory, 6 gigs ram.
How did your Metro Moto deal go? It was the direction I was thinking about going.

You have to deal with the reality that if they don't unlock in 6 months then you basically have a mini tablet or just start Metro PCS service with it. Many here can deal with that as the price of the phone (with service mind you) is pretty cheap.
A user previously posted about an unlock code for the Metro phone for cheap but I sincerely doubt it. I haven't heard of anybody having success in unlocking recent Metro phones unless done via hacking phone with PC.

Good call on the Power deal. That would be my pick if I wanted a phone that is actually usable immediately.
For what it's worth, the Metro dealer here in southern CA said you need to pay for a 1 month plan and then wait a total of 6 months to get the phone unlocked so you can take it somewhere else. The employee just offered that up without my asking. Seems the question was asked a few times before.

Dodge the bullet - had no data at home - have never had a problem with Tmo or Mint. Metro are dicks on returns. Offered $40 of $100 paid. Will take it up with my credit card co.
