The pre-order offer for the S25 series on Google Fi has ended, but they are offering a new promotion for existing customers (new customers should qualify up to Feb 20. but you need to wait 21 days before taking advantage of the offer).
New users should be eligible and should be able to get an additional $60 credit via referral, but you will need to sign up and activate your service no later than Feb 11. After Feb 11, do not use a referral if interested in this offer.
Requires the customer to be on the flexible or unlimited plus plan.
My offer is $650 off. However, it may be YMMV.
This is similar to the
preorder offer, where most were offered $650 off, but some customers were invited to a $750 offer.
I received the $750 offer for pre-order, and my post-launch offer is $650.
Perhaps, for those that received the $650 pre-order, their post-launch may be $550/$600? (will update OP once we get a few more data points).
This offer ends on March 14 at 9:59AM PDT.
Some observations from the pre-order offer that likely apply here:
- Existing customers are defined as those that have had service for >21 days.
- If you sign up by February 20, you will have enough time to qualify as an existing user by promo end. This should work, but not guaranteed.
- Using a referral offer may conflict with this promotion.
- I was unable to take advantage of the $750 off offer because I had an active countdown for my referral credits.
- However, if you sign up with a referral code + activate no later than February 11, you should qualify for the $60 referral credit + the existing customer discount. I would not bother trying a referral after February 11.
The above is contingent on this being a widely available offer, and not just invite-only... We should see more datapoints come through in the coming day or so.
The users most likely to benefit from this would be those that accepted a referral offer during the preorder period but their countdown prevented them from being able to apply the instant savings.

You'll need to activate the plan today, though. Youd need to go the esim route to make this happen.
If you sign up under a referral, take the flex plan, and activate today, your timer should end on March 13. The offer ends March 14 at 9:59am PDT. You should be eligible as an existing customer in 21 days, and then finish the referral offer in 30, before accepting the new hardware offer.
You can always pause service between day 21 and 30 if you feel you won't make it. It should cancel and make you ineligible for the referral offer, but should maintain your existing customer status for the phone discount.
It's very very tight though... You'd literally need to sign up with a referral asap, activate immediately, and then place your s25u order on the 13th/14th (last day).
This is, assuming, that they don't run out (offer continues while supplies last, or through March 14 at 9:59am PDT).

Do remember to activate today if you want to gamble on the referral, though!!
I did finally get the credit applied!
They emailed me via the promotions team after being a squeaky wheel, complaining that I wasn't getting the credit to apply, and that I purchased the phone during the promo period.
I was a little worried that since my cycle ends today, and I activated the phone today, that I would need to pay for an extra month at the end (since I need to hold it for 120 days -- which lines up with the end of a cycle). I was concerned that I will need to hold it for 1 more day, which would be the start of a new cycle 😵.
But I just read the terms around suspending / cancelling "flexible" plan service, and it says:
