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

I forgot to Unfreeze and got denied. Had to get credit pull reset to try again after unfreezing credit file.
"Phone and watch activation for monthly bill credits required by 30 days of shipment confirmation and must be active 24 months to get full value of the promotion."
Does that mean the watch has to be active for the full 24 months?
So we won't be able to sell it for 2 years.
Someone on Reddit said they didn't promotions applied to their bill and support just ghosts them, but people on Reddit said like it applied but like from second month onwards, like you won't get credit on first bill if it makes sense.
I had it happen on Cox Mobile too, like bill credit apply from 2nd bill onwards, but have to pay full on first bill.
Anyways, I do recommend people please take screenshots, do like web archive, get as many proof as you, Do like Print to PDF with time stamps, in case they deny offer you have proof

They also sent refund as soon as return label was scanned.
DOING SO MAKES YOU INELIGIBLE FOR THIS DEAL AS IT CONSIDERS YOU AN EXISTING FI CUSTOMER -- Customer support did NOT mention this at all when they recommended I try the 7d trial.
I assume you can work around this by using a separate google account for the order, subscription, etc, but that's not ideal for most people. That's absolutely ridiculous ... and customer support says there's nothing to be done about it.....
