---
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Pixel 9 Pro
$300 off instantly
Remaining $699 credited back over 24 months
Pixel Watch 3
$100 off via promo code (after phone ships)
Remaining $349 credited back over 24 months
Total Monthly Credits:
$29.12 (Pixel 9 Pro) + $14.54 (Watch 3) = $43.66/month
---
GOOGLE FI PLAN:
Unlimited Essentials Plan: $35/month
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
Financing either device = hard pull

Honestly, if this deal had come up 3-4 months ago, I'd probably have jumped back to Fi, but we're on 3 annual InfiMobile plans for less than $10/month and another couple annual US Mobile plans for $17.50/month, less than 4 months in, so not worth it to leave.
this deal works with the Flex plan and adding a new line = new user, which qualifies for the promo. finance it and the bill credits just cancel out the monthly payment. excellent deal.
"Changing devices before 120 days invalidates instant discount and cancellation or pause of Fi plan before 24 months will void promotion and credits will stop and outstanding financing, "
I don't need or want the watch. What's the resale value on it? $150? So the P9P ends up being about $400-450 out of pocket, but you're locked into a contract for 2 years.
This is probably a much better deal for people who are fine paying $30+ per month for cell service, and who would find value in an expensive smart watch. Feel free to TD my post for not slobbering all over this deal, I'm just doing the math for other people like me.

Need to think
1.Hard credit pull which I can use to open another credit card and get a promo offer while increasing my credit lines
2.T mobile which is not bad but not as good as verizon (best) or att (better)
3.No tethering which comes in handy occasionally
4.Only 35gb of data, sometimes I use a lot more
5.Still have a couple months prepaid from the visible+ yearly plan
6.Taxes and fees not included
7.Not sure if I would like the watch or phone vs my s21 and galaxy gear watch to be locked in for 2 years
I've missed it by a few days once or twice and haven't had my Google Voice number deactivated, yet. And I've had this number since the Grand Central days.
It might work with a phone call, too, but I just use a text because it's easier.
