The rule of pixel is never buy on launch. Always black Friday. They consistently make launch seem like a good deal and undercut it on BF by $200. I write this on my P7, while planning an upgrade in November

FYI - for those ordering from the Google Store, I came across the promo code "supersafshort" on a Reddit thread that gives an extra $50 off. Just pulled the trigger on a P9PXL (ew that acronym) and got the discount successfully - stacked with 10% Google One discount / trade in / $200 credit.

EDIT to add that "supersaf" as of 8.20 is a valid code (original supersafshort seems expired)

Pixel 8 $699
Pixel 9 $799
Why?

Yes. It does. Should look like this.

Also, the Cashback gets credited to the account after your order ships, not after you receive it. I made a mistake.
Do you know whether the cashback will be credited even if I am on the trail 2 TB plan from P8, which offered 6 months trial? Thanks.

Ordered through Google Store w/Pixel 8 Pro trade-in:

Trade-in initiated: Aug 14

Estimated delivery: Sep 17 - Sep 24

Fine print: Phones sent for trade-in must be received within 30 days of initiation of trade-in process

It seems that there is no guarantee that the quoted value will remain if I trade in after shipment arrives.

Best buy is super weird for allowing only one trade in across the Pixel Pro and Pixel Pro XL offerings. Why lump them both together? They are technically 2 different phones with 2 different skus.

Strange, but that can't be right? I mean people need their phones.

Replying to my own question -- I contact google store rep -- he confirmed that id.me will stack with the $200 store credit as well as the 10% credit from my google one sub Smilie
My 10% coupon stacked with the other deals with no issues

Man, even with all the discounts, it feels hella expensive.

Maybe I've never really embraced the trend of flagship phones costing above $650. I know I know, I'm stuck in the past.

$700+ phones... just feels like...a lot...you know. For a phone.

Is the Google one 10 percent store credit guaranteed if the subscription ends by the time the order ships?

Why would you even consider doing that? Pixel 9 at best is a stop gap before Google goes onto the TSMC based chips. The tensor 4 benchmarks are fairly mediocre, just slightly higher than the tensor 3, while actually being slower than the Snapdragon 2.

What would you get better by spending that much of additional money, especially keeping in mind that Google store credit is not exactly cash? The improvements between pixel 9 and pixel 8 are marginal at best. Slightly better screen. Slightly better cameras, slightly more RAM and a slightly, actually very slightly, better chip.

Wait for the Pixel 10, and hang on to the pixel 8 because you still get 7 years of support. Personally can't see the value in putting almost $300 for the upgrade.
I thought the same, and there are a couple reasons folks may not to do this. First, if you plan on upgrading to P10, you will get a higher TIV next year and you can treat the store credit like cash down applied to next year's release.

Also, for folks that are heavy AI users, having a year of Gemini premium ($240) to use in the interim included is a good perk.

The spec bumps also include an ultrasonic fingerprint reader and faster charging. A 33% RAM bump is rather significant, and T4 should improve battery life and heat efficiency.

At $300 you can make a case the included AI premium, specs, and improved TIV are worth it.

What's the $100 credit for being a Google one customer? How do I get that? I only see a 3% Google store credit for being a Google one customer when I try to order from Google store
Detailed here [google.com]. and in my Cart it says, "Google One benefit
Get 10% back as Store credit to your account 24 hours after order ships."

Can confirm this. I got about $200 credit expired because I wasn't able to find anything to spend on and later forgot about it.
So BestBuy $200 eGC is better than Google $200 store credit??
