Yeah, but the payment processor they're using requires your SSN and bank account. It's not a straight gift card.

I can confirm the credit is a discount code that doesn't stack with sale prices, if you try use the discount code on a sale then the price will revert to full price, the sale prices are usually better than $150. The discount code is worthless unless you absolutely cannot wait for a sale. Otherwise the $100 is better as you can still get the sale price and $100.

from what I've heard, the $150 is just a discount code and is not stackable so get the $100 and you will get a better upgrade deal

My 2 pixel 6a's do NOT qualify. Does this mean my pixel doesn't have reported battery problems. I do love my pixel 6a, and I have no problems with it, I got about 2 years ago on the walmart bf deal for 100 dollars new.
I'm thinking google had a batch of batteries that had problems, was that in beginning of the google pixel 6a life cycle?

Anyone familiar with how bad the 6a will be nerf'ed from the last time this happened?

My 6a is eligible and has over 400 cycles so I'll find out come July 8.

Inactivity fees don't apply when using the google link. Regular sign ups get the $29/year inactivity fee.
I hope that's true. My 6a qualifies, so I'll wait a few days and then try to claim the $100 through Payoneer.

I did some research on this pixel 6a battery issue. On July 8th, a few days away, there will be mandatory update to os16 and it will have battery features that could affect your pixel 6a battery. Now I checked my 2 pixel 6a models and I'm not eligible for the offers.

On checking online, google might have used questionable battery vendors on "some of their pixel 6a models and reports of the pixel 6a catching on fire. So update will limit the changing speed/volts that can be used to charge the device, so it will charge slower.

We will know more in a few days as the new os 16 will be released. I guess my pixel 6a has a "good battery" profile and not many people having them catch fire. There is no battery cycle counter on the pixel 6a, so no way of knowing how many cycles mine has. I did google search on it, and I believe pixel 8a does count the battery cycles.

"Please just give us your social security number, set up a security q&a, and provide your bank account number". If this a legitamate offer, it is clearly designed to scare any sane person from redeeming it. The stakes are too high, and they damn well know it. So this is how they limit their cash-payout liability. As collateral damage, the people who give up all of this highly sensitive information and get their $100 cash will now be acclimated to giving that same information to the next online-money-making opportunity. Shame on you Google. This is beyond the pale. I hope you are held to task for treating your customers like they are purely profit and loss, and grooming them to lose their life-savings to scammers.

Just put in a fake SSN they're not allowed to pull anyone credit to check, even a soft pull one requires disclosure. For bank account, open a discover checking which is free and does not require holding any balance

From the Pixel 6a Battery Performance Program's FAQs: "What happens to my Pixel 6a after I take one of the support options? Can I still use it? You will not be required to return your device. You can continue to use your Pixel 6a or you can dispose of it responsibly."
I'm confused about that text because that page says you can send it in or find place for replacement.
"If your Pixel 6a is eligible and you registered for a battery replacement, you can choose mail-in repair in the United States and India only, or take it to a walk-in repair location in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, Japan, and India."

Abattery app
I used it and it shows how many cycles that I used. I used the app and then I uninstalled it. I believe that it is right about the number of cycles.

Device Info HW app
This app works as well. Both apps are showing 132 charging cycles for me.
The app works perfectly.

No way to know until you try because each phone is registered by IMEI and there have been quite a few reports here already of phones that don't qualify.

Is it possible to just give Payoneer the wrong SSN in order to keep your identity safe?

It's important to note that "returning" an item is not the same thing as sending an item in for repair.

In that context, the term "return" was used to describe *exchanging* the phone for financial compensation (e.g. for cash or store credit)... something that the program does not require.

Does the code only work on pixel phones? How about any accessories like watches or buds?

FYI, code only works on phone purchase, I tried it on a watch.
