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

Anyone here signed up for the service last week and activated the phone yet? Please report your phone $650 rebate status if you do.
Thanks
Trying to get all the details on how people ordered, activated... etc. Trying to get the ducks in a row to see what worked and what might have made it fail.
It was suggested to wait until referral cleared before activating or at least 21 days after starting FI before activating the new phone.
Got a link to the reddit discussion? Not sure if you can link it or please DM me.

Besides the $60 credit, anyone running into any issues with being a new Fi customer and the $650 discount for the S26U?
I see this reddit post. Anyone else running into the same issue and was able to get resolved via Google Fi support?
