Use the referral link and also put in your current mint phone number at checkout when it asks. There is no guarantee but usually phones purchased with a plan via the "deals" page will get the referral. Last year for the Pixel 7 deal people were able to get cash back plus mint referral by using cash back link and putting in a phone number at checkout. No idea if that will still work or not.

You'll be fine if you activate in 30 days. It says in the fine print somewhere but I think it is at least 45.
Thanks.

I didn't see a place for a referral mint phone number at checkout except under buyer information and shipping address. Is that the spot that what you mean? Because it's just buyer info, shipping info, promo code (none), payment info, and PLACE ORDER.

I don't see how cb sites would work. Maybe use the cb site to add to cart. Then use the referral link and pay? I read on Reddit that others have complained they didn't get referrals, and it could have been because the friend/family didn't use the referral link. But I did watch a couple 2021 YouTube videos on mint referrals, and the link has been the method, so using cb then referral must be the way.

Visible gives each acct a referral code to share which allows use of both, so it's more definite.

The only way to do it with cash back is to use a referring phone number. You can't use both the cash back referral link and a mint referral link.

If they've removed the phone number referral option then there is no way to combine it with cash back. The referral links can be very picky, if you have an ad blocker or browser with strict cookie settings it can interfere. The phone number was much more reliable.

Disable any ad/cookie/tracking blocking then close and start with a fresh browser and paste in the referral link, usually works.

Thanks.

I looked at the march'23 thread. It seems mint added the referral number field bc the referral link was flaky. Seems like they removed it. Probably bc of the cash back hack. Thanks for the help. Still debating if it is worth it as my son has the pixel 7. He's got big hands, so the slightly smaller screen may not be as good for him. I'd love to upgrade, but I picked up the P7 + 12mo deal last year, so I can't unless I port out and come back in 90d or use GV.

I got pixel 7 for my wife last year. It had lot of software issues which we couldn't fix even after trying everything we could. Looks like they get all the defective pieces from google.

One phone with a software issue (which may or may not have been user error) means Mint gets ALL the defective phones from Google?

Is this locked to Mint for 12 months, so it's only good if you are a current Mint user?

You only can buy the phone without a plan if you are current Mint user.

The promotion is intended for new Mint users bundling the phone and plan.

But to confirm, for $399, this p8 is locked to Mint for 12 months and is not an unlocked device? Or would it work with a Tmobile sim?

It is locked for 12 months. My understanding is phones locked to Mint will work with T-mobile as well.
