Deal Details
Google store is offering promo code for Pixel 11 preorders on August 12th with email sign up. You can then also sign up with Google Fi flexible plan (with unmentionable credit) with the same email address to stack Fi pixel deals similar to $450 off Pixel 10 Pro deal that they had last year.

Fi will show you the existing users deals only after 21 days so now is the time to sign up with Fi if you want to stack them together.

Read the comment below for the detailed steps.

Here is the fine print of the Google store offer

"Available only to those who sign up with a Google Account for marketing emails from store.google.com between 7/15/2026 at 10:00am PT and 8/7/2026 at 11:59pm PT.

Promotional code expires 8/27/2026 at 11:59 pm PT; while supplies last. Must be US resident, aged 18 years or older, with US shipping address. Must be redeemed on Google Store only. Limit 1 per customer. The coupon code can only be used for purchase of the advertised specified Pixel 11 (unlocked or Fi) devices and cannot be applied to any other devices, Google subscriptions, services nor Google Merchandise products. Promotional code and redemption instructions will be emailed after sign-up on 8/11/2026."

What will be the discount?

Typically Google store offers $100 off for the pro. Google Fi offers $450 off for existing users on most plans including flexible (e.g see https://support.google.com/fi/thread/366088684/introducing-google-pixel-10-pro-the-ultimate-pixel-experience-and-that%E2%80%99s-not-all?hl=en&sjid=13606205825493244010-NC for last year's promo). You can stack both of them together. You do have become an exsisting user soon, see the first comment for the steps.

For new Fi users they might offer higher discount but that involves $300 off and rest in bill credits, see https://9to5google.com/2026/07/20/pixel-11-pro-shows-up-on-one-of-googles-websites/


How do I order the phone on Aug 12th?

1. Check your email for promo code from Google store.
2. If you are doing this with Fi, go to Fi app and then privacy and security, make sure "Allow CPNI sharing" is turned on to be able to see Fi offer from Google store.
3. Go to Google store and login using the Gmail address you used to Fi and promo code.
4. Select phone and then Google Fi and make sure of the discounted price.
5. Trade in a phone if you want as Google typically offers elevated trade ins during release time and also Google store typically offers higher trade in that Fi.
6. Order the phone. If you are doing this with Fi then you will need to stay on it for 120 days after activation as mentioned in the first comment.

Well, the Fi deals for Z fold/flip didn't do all upfront discount as before and added 24 months bill credits for existing user. I do hope that Google still does all upfront discount for Pixels as they have done last year.
Oof - hopefully if they're nerfing it, it's tied to just Samsung and not Pixels

You need to activate the phone on Fi so you do need to open it and do a minimal setup. After that you can keep it untouched.

Here the steps for Fi signup and deals in general.


Fi deals are easiest to do among the carrier deals because everything is automated and there is no unlocking involved. Fi support on the other hand is incompetent so they can't fix anything if things go south but if you follow the steps properly you should be good.

0. Get unmentionable for Fi, it will give you $60 off the service. Also the person referring you will get $60. I am out of it BTW. DM me if you can't find a code.

1. First open a Fi account with flexible plan with a gmail address with the unmentionable code . Don't do any new user promotions etc. The plan cost is $20 per month for unlimited talk and text. The data is $10 per GB but you won't be using this plan for anything. So don't port your number, just do the plan with a new number from Fi. You can download the Fi app on your phone and then download an eSIM and activate the service on any phone you have lying around.

2. Be on the plan for 21 days or so. On 22nd day or about you can check in the Fi app under the shop tab and it will show existing user deals like $650 off S26U, $550 off P10 Pro XL etc.

3. Order the phone and when the phone comes set it up with the same Gmail address, download Fi app and the activate the service on the phone. It will move the service from the previous phone.

4. In the Fi app, the billing and then in progress you will see a tracker which would look something like $650 off and what steps the completed. It will also show how many of 120 days are left.

5. Wait 24 hours from activation for that counter to go down by 1.

6. At this point you can delete Fi app and install your SIM and start using this phone with it. I would suggest to just disable the eSIM or make it secondary etc.

7. After 120 days, the whole in progress section will disappear and you are good to cancel the line with Fi.

8. I suggest you pause the line instead and keep pausing for 90 days until next year for S27U etc. Using this deal few in SD community are upgrading to latest ultras every year by paying $0 including me by selling the last ultra locally for the same amount.

9. Your total cost will be phone price plus approx $120 service fee minus $60 credit
question about step 6. what if my main sim is already with google fi. can i insert my google fi after activation or it will mess up promotion?

You should not put two Fi sims on a single phone, that is a recipe for voding the promo. If you really want to do this when you have Fi service already, you can do this with a new Fi line but you can only use that phone after 120 day promo is over on the new line.

If they follow last years the daal might run longer than the release date, see the dates in here https://support.google.com/fi/thr...7018341-NC for example. The Google store coupon might expire sooner though. Moreover Fi has same or better deals throughout the year like they have $500 off for P10 Pro so you will still be able to grab it at a great discount.

If you do sign up please do the ref credits as mentioned the instructions, I am seeing the reports of people not seeing the deals after 21 days who didn't sign up with ref credits.

Once the Pixel 11 is activated on Fi and the 120 day counter has gone down one day, can I deactivate the esim and use two different esims on that device? I've heard that deactivating the Fi eSIM or uninstalling the Fi app from this deal before the 120 days are up could void the credit? I basically have two eSIMs I actively use which are tracfone and T-Mobile which I would want to use on the Pixel 11.

When it says 119 days, can I move that eSIM back to the donor phone so I can use two non-Google FI esims on the Pixel 11?

You can't transfer the eSIM to any other phone while 120 day promo is going on but you can deactivate/delete the Fi eSIM after activation after the counter goes down by 1. The system is in autopilot and does not check for live SIM. Only when that eSIM is associated with another phone, the promo will get voided.

Are you saying you can just continue to repuse every 89 days indefinitely and continue getting promo codes?
Just so I understand correctly, for this to work you essentially need two prerequisites:
1] an alternate gmail account (not your main)
2] a backup phone just for activation (also not your main). This phone explicitly needs to support eSIM? I saw on the Google Fi checkout page you can request a physical SIM Card.
is that right?

Pixel 10 and later phones are eSIM only.

it says in step 1 to use an alternate phone:

1. First open a Fi account with flexible plan with a gmail address with the unmentionable code . Don't do any new user promotions etc. The plan cost is $20 per month for unlimited talk and text. The data is $10 per GB but you won't be using this plan for anything. So don't port your number, just do the plan with a new number from Fi. You can download the Fi app on your phone and then download an eSIM and activate the service on any phone you have lying around.

You were the one that mentioned a physical SIM card, not me.

That's right. My question is whether the alternate phone is supposed to be ESIM-only or if a physical SIM would work as well. Just trying to understand the process here and what I would actually need to make it work, since I currently don't have an alternate phone.

It can be with a physical SIM which you can order from fee after opening a line, see https://ibb.co/tpC3GTcJ. It's not technically needed that you activate the line on a phone, it's that a line is open and the duration that the line is open for matters here. As mentioned in the comments before do open the line with ref code as there was at least one person reporting they are not seeing the deals after 21 days. The ones who saw the deal did open the account with a ref code.
