Google Fi Pixel 9 Pro + Pixel Watch 3 Promo – Full Breakdown (With and Without Financing)
You must keep the line active and in good standing for 24 months to get all credits
---
OPTION A – PAY UPFRONT (NO HARD CREDIT PULL)
At Checkout:
Pay $699 for Pixel 9 Pro (after $300 discount)
Pay $349 for Pixel Watch 3 (after $100 discount)
Pay sales tax upfront on both
No financing, so NO hard credit check
Each Month (for 24 months):
Plan: $35
Credit: $43.66
Result: Your plan is fully covered and you get ~$8.66 extra per month, which can be used toward taxes or other fees (but doesn't roll over or get refunded)
Best for: People avoiding a credit check and okay paying upfront
---
OPTION B – FINANCE THE DEVICES (HARD CREDIT PULL REQUIRED)
At Checkout:
Pay $0 for the devices (except taxes)
Finance Pixel 9 Pro ($29.12/mo)
Finance Pixel Watch 3 ($14.54/mo)
This triggers a HARD credit pull
Each Month (for 24 months):
Plan: $35
Devices: $43.66
Credit: $43.66
Result: You still just pay $35/month total — credits cancel out the device payments
Best for: People who prefer monthly payments and don't mind a hard inquiry
---
AFTER 24 MONTHS:
You own both devices
Bill credits stop
You continue paying for the Google Fi plan ($35/mo unless changed)
Any leftover credit in a month does not carry over or get refunded
---
TL;DR:
You can avoid a hard credit pull only if you pay for BOTH the phone and watch upfront
You'll still get $43.66/month in credits, which more than covers the $35/mo plan
Any extra credit each month can only be used that month, no rollovers or payouts
Just curious, if you take advantage of both the phone and watch offers, the up front cost (after discounts) is $1050 ($700 for the 9 Pro phone + $350 for the Pixel Watch) . ($1050 / 24 months) = $43.75. If the plan is $35 a month, are they sending you a check for $8.35 each month? I suspect hidden fees and taxes consume the remaining $8.35, but I can't imagine you would be paying much after credits. So you would be paying for the phone and watch and basically getting service for 2 years for "free". No clue if this is a deal.
It's a good deal if you're into the Google ecosystem but the fi customer service is fairly useless in my experience and do not seem to have any ability to fix promo errors and issues that arise.

No. In this case? Your actual bill will be $35(monthly service) + $43.75 (monthly cost for phone and watch) -$43.75( monthly promotional credits) = $35 + taxes
I've always used free phone plans (Freedompop etc) and now Tello $6 per month prepaid plan (data only with Google Voice - no tax!) for the last decade, so I just checked with ChatGPT to see how much tax and government fees would be for the $35 per month plan - it said about $7 per month just for tax & gov fees in my state. No thanks, I'll pass!
No. In this case? Your actual bill will be $35(monthly service) + $43.75 (monthly cost for phone and watch) -$43.75( monthly promotional credits) = $35 + taxes
he's saying if you pay for the phone outright. but i dont know why you would do that and instead save your money for something else, not like there is interest

why are you not just paying $0 upfront and let them deduct the phone plan every month and just pay $35 monthly for service? you can put that $1000 in an investment and earn interest on it
If I get this deal, can I put an existing SIM into the new phone. And put the FI into a phone I already have?
No, you need to use the device for 120 days, after which you can switch to a different phone.
"Remain active and in good standing on the qualifying device for 120 consecutive days. Pausing, changing, or suspending the account will terminate the promotion. You must remain on a full service plan for the duration of the promotion."
"The device activator may switch devices after 120 days, but must keep their Fi service active in order to continue to receive the promotion bill credits."
I'm considering this but I'm not one who just hops around on phone plans. I am worried about losing my number from visible. Is it difficult to change? I lost my number porting IN to visible and it really really sucked.

I have the $35 plan for two lines. Both are phones. I pay $13.37 in taxes and fees. Then I pay $10/GB for data. Usually under 1GB as I'm on Wifi except when driving around town.
Kinda sucks seeing these deals. Got S23 Ultra and S23 and did a bill credit deal. Not free after credits but discounted.
Device payments are 93.33 each month - $50. With all the fees/taxes/payments etc.. I'm all in for 95 to 100 depending on data usage each month.
I was paying $30/month for unlimited on tmobile for 2 lines but wanted to get new phones. Just know you're locked in for 2 years.
My state has high cell phone taxes (WA state) so your costs will vary state to state. Just the basic sales taxes are over 30%. Probably wouldn't have gone for it or rethought it if I had known. Data should not be charged sales tax.
If you go with unlimited - i don't know if they separate the cell / data charges on the bill. Would be nice to know.
