FYI, in the US at least, there are two Pixel 6 "standard (aka not Pro)" models; one with and one without mmWave.
Based on the specs on the Visible site and the price, it appears that they are selling the one without mmWave. (The mmWave is typically $100 more.)
The Pixel 6 from Verizon (or from Google for Verizon) has mmWave, as well as the Pixel 6 from AT&T.
The Pixel 6 from T-Mobile (or sold from Google as unlocked) does NOT have mmWave.
"Although mmWave 5G offers exponentially faster speeds than Sub-6GHz 5G, it's more limited in terms of range. That means a phone with mmWave 5G support will need to be located somewhat close to a 5G tower to truly enjoy those faster speeds. This may work in major metropolitan areas where there are multiple towers spread throughout the city, but it's less of a possibility in rural areas. Because of that, mmWave 5G rollout has been slow and it's available only in select cities."

So, 599-99-50=450
With visible 500-200+75(visible 3mo svc)-99(buds MSRP)=375
If you value the buds, then visible is better else you're going to break even. The buds are gonna be a hard sell for many.
and the visible one will have mmwave.
pretty useless for most people, but it's $100 more

Also the person you quoted was adding service to the cost. The point of buying phone on Visible is to use Visible so I dont consider that a cost of the phone, so the Visible deal is better

For me I added losing CB and real value of buds
599-200-99+10(5% cb of 200)+29($70 resale value of pixel buds)+75(visible 3 mo payment)=414 but I would be charged tax on MSRP
Add 5% cb $30 on $599 from PayPal ~ 414-30 = 384
Add 2% cb from tcb = 599*2% = 12 then 384-12= $372
Delta tax diff at 8.25 = 13.7 (599-432). So my price for visible would be 389
Target 500-99-50-22.5(5% redcard)=432.5
If you value the buds, then visible is better else you're going to break even. The buds are gonna be a hard sell for many. You would save $43 if you can handle all the hassles of visible and liquidating the assets.

According to the 1st table in that link, does it mean Verizon model Pixel 6 (G9S9B) only work with mmWave 5G? or will it also work with Sub-6 when I take it to a different network (say T-mo)?
Then in 2nd Table, Pixel 6 is listed to work on (?) T-mo with both mmWave and Sub-5. ??
Anyways Google is gonna ask you to pound sand in three years when you trade in, you might better save that $300 and use it against the next upgrade.
But mostly people manage to get $99 off. 10% off more is RARE. The coupon does not actually apply to Google or Unlocked phones. It only happens if there is a kind rep who doesn't read the T&C.
In short: Target is super YMMV. But the Visible deal is NOT YMMV and Open to everyone.
I'm on Red Pocket now which isn't an eligible carrier. I was thinking of switching to Visible anyways and using a party plan though so this works good
