That's amazing ! I just logged into my account and went to new phones and it showed it for $299!

Below is my order breakdown:

Nice!

Wasn't expecting to upgrade my phone but at this price its a no brainer for a better finger print sensor!
What will happen if you get the order. Will you receive an unlocked phone?

I am an existing mint customer with a physical sim.
I'm not sure what I'm gonna receive

I can confirm that you can order 3-month service, port in your number, have the account created and logged in. Then go to mintmobile.com homepage from the same browser session, top menu under Phones => Deals, you should see the Pixel 9 at 299. Click Details on it and the details page should not show you option to pick plan nor SIM type. It should only offer protection plan and a button to add to cart.

Edit: I added 3-month 5-gig service and used "freemonth" promo code to get it at $30 + tax and fees.
I couldn't seem to get back to the mintmobile homepage after logging into my account. I can only get to see My Account details when logged in - navigating away (or to the main site on the same session) takes me to the logged-out homepage. Anyone figure this out? I've used multiple browsers.

I thought I had missed out on the deal when I logged into my Mint account and couldn't find the Pixel 9. However, I still had a tab opened to the Pixel 9 page and it let me order 2 Pixel 9s without being logged in. That was unexpected! $299 x 2 = $598. It did not ask me to pick a plan. Shipping to my brother in NH to avoid the taxes and fees.

Go find my post on page 10(?) people and see if the link is still working. We're upgrading from a Pixel 7 from a previous Mint deal.

Wish Mint would do something slick on the iPhone 14 or 15 for the teens in the house!

Thanks for that link. I couldn't find the pixel 9 on the website as I was logged in on my mother's account. I just clicked on your link I'm not logged into anything and it let me order. No port information none of that. Just a simple order. Hopefully there's no issues. It seems too easy. Haha

FYI - Mint chat agent says: We can swap our existing Mint sims into these new Pixel 9s and both will unlock after 60 days, which we can initiate via a chat session. We'll see.
I have only 1 number or sim card, can I do that to both new Pixel 9 phones?

Anybody know what the definition of new customer is? How long do you have to be away from Mint? Got conflicting info from reps on past deals.

Port in is only required to get the half price unlimited plan. Existing customers can just buy the phone for $299 nothing special required (other than 60 days locked to Mint).
Thanks. I saw that port in requirement after I bought the phone and tried to cancel right away. Customer service seemed to understand, but I just received a tracking number. Now I have to find a number to port in.

Tempting deal. Does anyone know if the Pixel phones sold thru Mint can be bootloader unlocked (to install a custom OS)?
I had a chat with Loraine in customer service and was assured that the bootloader can be unlocked. Fingers crossed that's true, as I hope to load a custom OS.

Have any current Mint customers been successful with getting the $299 deal? I am a current customer and ordered this phone yesterday, literally, for $399. I've been chatting with customer service for a while now and it seems like they're not willing to refund me the $100. Wondering if I should just place a new order for the phone and return the one I've already ordered once it arrives. Just concerned though that ordering the phone through the link below will create some kind of issue with my existing account/phone number when I try to activate the new phone.

Teens with a $700 phone? Wow.

Even at $299 ($325 after taxes), it doesn't really seem worth that much to upgrade from my Pixel 7 that I got 2 years ago from the previous Mint deal. I guess you could buy it to unlock and flip and make maybe $200, if that's worth the hassle.

Seems like the only changes are a bit more RAM, 10% more battery, and improved fingerprint sensor? I haven't had any noticeable issues with my Pixel 7.

Don't open a new account with a physical sim if you're porting in, like I did as a dumbass.
Can't login to my account unless I activate the sim card. And I can't order the phone for $299 without logging into the account. Doh!

Ya I'm confused cause after I ordered I got an email to remind me to activate my mint when I get it but I already have an activated line.
