Here's everything you need to know about Google Fi's Pixel 9 Pro + Pixel Watch 3 deal, whether you're paying upfront or financing. I also include credit pull details and monthly costs so you can decide if it's right for you.

Google Fi Pixel 9 Pro + Pixel Watch 3 Promo – Full Breakdown (With and Without Financing)

---

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

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.

From the details page, looks like you can pay $700 upfront and get those back over 24 months without financing. Is my understanding correct?
that looks to be correct and seems to avoid the hard pull..

Maybe I should leave Fi so that later I can actually take advantage of deals like this... They used to take good care of their current customers
Yes, I am thinking the same thing. BS that they do this for people who don't support them.

Have excellent credit as well, but sure would not waste a hard pull on this deal..
If you understand how credit scores and reports work, you'll know that a hard pull doesn't mean much if it doesn't result in a new credit line/loan.

Part of the terms, per OP:

"Pausing, changing, or suspending the account will terminate the promotion."

Anyone know if changing plans (to/from qualified plans counts as "changing" the account for purposes of continuing to qualify for this promo?
Would like to know the same.
Can you change plans on a monthly basis like when going out of the country for an extended trip.
Also does changing from one qualified plan to another nullify this deal stopping the credits.

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
You would pay for the phone to avoid the hard credit pull...

Is this only for the essentials plan or all plans? I'm reading the terms and it doesn't seem to list a specific plan.

Also this is a free pixel pro 9 for each line correct? If opening up 2 lines, I can get two phones free if I stay with them for 24 months?

Damn, wish the new $35 plan had hotspot tethering Frown
It always sucks not having 4 people and the primary reason we don't use any of the major carriers, including FI..on the new Essentials plan it's $90 for 4 lines or $23+tax per line..for a free phone and watch this is a great deal

Might want to ask the customer service. I don't think they would cut the promotion if you switch plans since you're already in
