Currently, you can get $100 in Google Store credit when you buy the Pixel 9 directly from Google, or $200 when you buy the Pixel 9 Pro or Pro XL. You’ll need a Google Pay profile to get the credit. And if you don’t mind parting with your current phone, you can also get up to $760 in trade-in credit for eligible devices.
Another benefit you get when you pre-order your new Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, or Pixel 9 Pro XL is one year of Gemini Advanced for free, a $240 value. If you buy the 9 Pro or 9 Pro XL, you’ll also get one year of Google One AI Premium, six months of Fitbit Premium, and three months of YouTube Premium. If you opt for the base Pixel 9, you’ll still get six months of Google One Premium (2TB) and Fitbit Premium, and three months of YouTube Premium.
Those who join Google Fi Wireless can get an additional $500 back on their new Pixel phone, paid out in the form of 24 monthly bill credits.
