For those who are new to Fi, steps to become an existing user and
1. Open an account with flexible plan. Use unmentionable code from existing user for $60 credit.
2. Just to be safe, wait for the first bill to be generated before ordering the phone. This will take couple of days. At the very least wait for a day but I suggest waiting for the first bill generation.
3. Once the phone is shipped you need to activate the phone within 30 days. At this point another counter for new user r**f credit is also running down from 30 days. I strongly suggest you wait for that counter to hit zero before you activate the phone. All the counters will be shown on FI app-billing-Track FI saving and instant rebate.
4. Once the phone is activated on FI by downloading the FI app, you should wait for a day for the counter to go down by 1. At this point you can disable/remove the eSIM and use your current provider.5. At no point during 120 days move the FI SIM to another phone (i.e. do not install FI app on any other phone and log into this FI account). Once the counter reaches 0 you can cancel the line or pause it for next deal.
The total cost will be $650 + $25 (plans cost per month including fees) * 5 - $60 = $715

Comes to like 17.5% in taxes when it should be 1/2 that.
New FI customers can have 512gb for $999
Samsung pricing is insane. Apple is final cheaper by a mile. Samung sales are nonstarters

I do notice a new tile on my Fi homepage mentioning "Don't lose your rebate. You're currently not meeting a condition for the $650 off Samsun Galaxy S26 Ultra instant rebate". When I click the track promo link it doesn't show anything new. Next step shows "Current Fi member activates device within 30 days of shipment" with checkboxes on the previous steps. I'm guessing that alert will go away when I activate it in ~23 days.

Yeah I'm not gonna wait 20+ days staring at the phone.
Both promo (ref & phone) shows up under promotions and I should be able to do both at the same time.
Why would they let us order it with $650 discount if the actually promo is not gonna work.
Worst case scenario, I'll just return the phone within 15 days.
If they don't take it I have AMEX return protection.
I can't wait for Monday to come.
