My 1st charge (made on 4/30) was for the phone + sales tax only. Won't get charged for the 1st month until I've received the phone and activate it. Data points in this thread from people who had activated the min plan said their bill was "around $25". Not clear if it's below or above $25.
thats good news for AMEX deal. now i need to boost up the charge so its $25 per month so in 4 months we can recover the 3x AMEX credit.

Quote from swammer :
based on the terms monthly charges might not be included? only purchase of the phone?
You may be reading too much into it. Terms state purchases online at fi.google.com. So basically any charge from fi.google.com should trigger the credit, whether it be the monthly cell plan or buying a new phone. If it doesn't credit you can always chat/call AMEX for reimbursement. YMMV

I assume you'll use the 1st Amex $25 credit when you pay for the phone. If you boost your monthly bills to $25+, then you'll get 2 more Amex credits from 4 monthly bills. However, if you use a Fi referral code (available on Reddit) to get a $20 credit from Fi, it'll mess up that scheme. The Fi code is entered when the order is made, and I already entered mine when placing the order on 4/22.

i suppose you can always use some data to pad up the monthly to $25? i was told its a metered data charge ($10/GB). when does the referral credit kick in? 2nd month? i hope Fi charges at beginning of month?

Come to think of it, if the monthly bill for the $20 plan + tax is above $25 on it own, then the $25 Amex credit is a good deal. But if the bill is under $25 (let's say $24.50) and you spike it with a $10 data charge, then the benefit is not much: 2 months x ($24.50 + $10) - $25 Amex credit = $44 vs $49 if you don't do the Amex deal.

I'm new to Fi. Don't know how the Data charge is calculated for the minimum plan. Is it a flat-rate $10 for each 1GB, or prorated on what you use at $10 per 1GB.
The credit kicks in after 30 days from activation, so I assume it'll be applied to the 2nd month.

yes, over multiple transactions. but each time you go over $50, the counter will reset i guess, so you will have to do minimum 4 bill transactions with AMEX by 9/2.

Yes, but I'm not sure per Amex terms if you get $25 credit for every accumulated $50 spent from multiple purchases.

My plan is to charge my 4 monthly bills to Amex as is (not spiking them). After a $20 Fi credit, the remaining amount (4 x around $25 - $20) should get me a $25 Amex credit.

Original delivery estimate was May 8-10, now pushed back to May 20-22, 256 GB Pink

Also got the Google Fi Amex offer on the card I charge it to, but I expect new phone to show up as a Google Store purchase and not Google Fi. Someone who's had it shipped, can you confirm?

Get a $25 statement credit by using your enrolled eligible Card to spend a minimum of $50 in one or more purchases online at fi.google.com by 9/2/2022. Limit of 3 statement credits (total of $75)

Quote from greyster :
Didn't like the s22. Thought the s10 display was better. Infact even the s10 display was OLED and it has a better PPI ratio vs s22. Returned to Google fi and ported back to visible.

Will potentially look at the ultra but not on google fi. Signal was also bad (but noting that YMMV per zip code).

Return process was slow. They are all in the Philippines, very friendly but omg everything is manual and requires supervisor assistance. Very slow and multiple calls. They got it done in the end.
Quote from fungame :
Thanks for posting very useful information. I always compare phones on gsmarena and that tells me the entire story in a few minutes (on features per say). I posted here earlier that Visible is much better (again YMMV depending on zip code) as flat $25 (party pay). Also google fi customer service is pain and Visible as well but mostly you never contact them (unless something goes wrong with service).
thank you for this info!

debating if I should pull the trigger to replace an S9.

even the S9 has a better resolution than the S22!
1440 x 3040 pixels, 19:9 ratio (~550 ppi density)
vs
1080 x 2340 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~425 ppi density)
