Visible Google Pixel 6a 128GB + $300 gift card 3 month service and port in required $349

$349.00
+4 Deal Score
10,099 Views
Port in a number from eligible carrier, complete 3 months of service $30 per month, get $300 gift card.

Chase has $25 off visible. Referral code can knock down first month cost by $20.

Net cost $349 + $90 - $20 - $25 + tax = $394 + tax

No trade in required.

It seems metro number, GV number don't qualify, some verizon MVNO number does, such as tracfone number does quality. ATT and Tmobile numbers certainly do. Check your number during checkout, if not qualify, you will see a small line of text stating this number doesn't qualify for GC.

  • Non-Verizon new number port-in AND 3 months of paid service ($30 monthly) required for $300 gift card.
  • $300 gift card is a code to be used to purchase other merchandise/food outlet gift cards. It is not a general purpose card such as VIsa or Mastercard. When Visible issues the $300 GC code you must redeem it within 6 months code will expire.
  • 2 months of paid service required for unlock- you must leave Visible SIM in the phone for full 60 days for unlock. Visible does daily IMEI checks to count eligible service days.
  • Can stack $20 off order if you use referral code - look on eBay or Reddit. AGAINST SD RULES to share or request for referral codes.
  • Can also stack with Chase/ BOA offers for extra $25 off if you have the Visible offer

If I understand this correctly, I can get a Boost mobile number to port in on ebay, buy this phone and pay for 3 months service, get it unlocked at 2 months, and then just stick my Red Pocket GSMA (at&t) sim in it?

Looks like it would cost me $448 for all of that, minus $20 if I can get a referral code (I don't have the chase offer). So $428 plus tax, then I get a $300 gift card to Target or Amazon. So it'll cost me $128 plus tax when it's all said and done?

This sounds like the kind of offer I was hoping for, are there any kinks to watch for? I see someone asking if people didn't get their gift cards before; is that likely to happen? Is it easy to unlock after 60 days, or can that become a nightmare with CS?

Too damned many. I'm not even going to get my 10-foot pole out of the closet.

I had to fight for one when they had Visa cards and $5 first month, $25 second. Not worth it.

There are always risks. You can find many stories in other visible threads how bad the service is, how hard it is to fight for GC. In trade in threads, you will find people complaining about trade in being rejected. If you fulfill the requirements, you and other in the same address haven't jumped in their offers before, it should be fine. I have done visible offers a few times, never had problem, but that was at least two years ago, not recent.

I personally find bestbuy in store trade in deals safer. At least, if trade in not accepted, you can take the trade in phone back and go to another store. No need to deal with unlock as well.

Thanks. I have no phone worth trading in anywhere that I know of, unless a 2020 Moto G Stylus has value I'm unaware of, so trade-in deals are useless to me.

Why does this deal have a zero rating and a similar deal for the iPhone SE is doing well? Both hinge on getting a $300 gift card that sounds like it's far from assured you'll get. I'm truly curious, as I'm very tempted to do this deal, but not if it will be a problem getting the gift card.

As an aside, I saw on the iphone thread there's a cashback site where you can get $63 back as well. It's a "top" site for cashback.

It's not slow. Main camera is same as 4a/5a lol. Overheating was an issue at launch, and with 5G (which is a useless battery drainer). Doesn't overheat on A13 from my experience.

Apparently, you didn't read these reviews including recent ones sorted by date. Same problems exist now. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Thanks for the heads up. I hate having to deal with these kind of companies.

Do I must have to use this new phone, or can I use my existing Samsung galaxy phone to plug in Visible simcard?

The page says $300 but, the max GC offer I can find on the page is $250. Even for the Pixel 6a it only says $250.
