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

That's the way it's been for 3 upgrades: this promotion and the free upgrade to 23u > 24u > 25U > 26U have been working, and the second stream started this year, so the wife will be happy too—every

Thanks. How do you like it? I got Spigen Ultra Hybrid Black Matte. Decent for now. I tried several cases already...so will try more a few months out.

Escalated through chat on 13th, just got email today (17) that they've gone ahead and fixed the issue from their side. Now I can see tracker counting down.
I was impatient and ordered the phone soon after creating my google fi account, did not wait for the bill to generate before ordering.
