I pre ordered the XL in the Google store. Read an article that said Google would be giving $100 credits for pre ordering. I didn't see any mention of a credit when I was ordering though. Is this something that's gonna show up after it ships or did I misread the article?

You will probably get code after trade in period is over
I believe it says the usual 6-8 weeks. The email associated with your order needs to be tied to Google Pay to get the credit.
Dose the $100 only for Trade in or all pre-order?

Yeah, it's the same as all their deals. Just so you don't return the phone after you get the promo. The site says, "Customers will receive an email notifying them Promotional Balance is added to their account 6-8 weeks after the end of the promotion (October 26, 2019 at 11:59pm PT) ... Promotional balance expires on 01/31/20 11:59pm PT."
I cancelled the Google Store pre-order and got it from Amazon. $100 at Amazon is more useful than at the Google Store in my opinion.
If you have Fi and get it on Fi they just pull it out of your bill until it's consumed; works for me.
The google credit is mentioned in the fine print, I had to scroll to the very bottom. I am hesitant to order from Verizon since they have a history of locking the bootloader, currently they have $450 credit for trading in a phone like the Pixel.
Verizon=just say no. Not ever. Uh-uh. Not going to happen. Ever. Example: Saving 400 on Verizon equals walking through 500 miles of dog feces barefoot before you get the opportunity to lick a goats sphincter. Yeah, you could do that because your tough and all that and you end up 400 dollars richer but do you really need to save 400 dollars that much?

Don't know how it works if you finance but if you pay cash they are SIM unlocked immediately, I took one over to Tmo simply by sticking my SIM in before I even booted it up for the first time. The bootloader can also be unlocked but again I'm referring to a cash buy, it may be different if you finance.

Thanks for replying back.
I think you're right, financing=SIM-Locked, Cash=Unlocked!
I didn't say that, I said I didn't know what the situation was with financed devices. Fi is super straight up when you call them, if I was interested in picking one up via financing there I would give them a quick shout and see what they say.
I just read that you can order through the Goog store, get their 100 credit but select via Fi on checkout and then turn around and get their 100 credit also, seems like one is slipping through a crack that may be closing at any time.

No Fi phones are NOT sim locked financed.
A nice perk if you have a google One paid account. I got $99.90 in credit on Google (10%) as a One customer and will also get the $100 credit. I'll wait and get the pixel buds for free when they come out in the spring if my credit does not expire before then. I did not notice an expiration date but maybe I missed it.

Unfortunately the credit would expire prior to the buds being out, unless maybe they allow pre-orders very early in the year, or they release them earlier than 'spring'.
The Google One credit is good for 365 days, however the $100 promotional credit is only good until 01/31/20 11:59pm PT

Get 10% back in Store credit on Google Store purchases
How it works
When you shop on Google Store, make sure you’re signed in with the email you use for Google One.
Any time you make an eligible device or accessory purchase, you’ll get 10% back in Google Store credit. You’ll see how much credit you earned at checkout.
Your credit will appear in your account 30 days after your order ships. You can use the credit on future Google Store device and accessory purchases, and you can check your credit balance any time in the Google Store settings.
Happy shopping!

The Offer is not available to Google One trial memberships. Google reserves the right to suspend, modify or terminate this Offer at any time without notice under certain circumstances, including in cases of potential breach of our Terms of Service, or to protect third party rights or the public.

Store Credit is granted 30 days after shipment of order and expires 365 days from the grant date. You must be an Eligible Member at the grant date to accrue Store Credits. To earn Store Credit, Eligible Members must complete the cart checkout with their Google One membership account. No Store Credit will be awarded when completing a purchase as a guest or under a Google account other than a Google One plan manager account. If a refund request is filed between transaction and ship date, then no Store Credit will be issued. Google Store credit is granted up to $150 per transaction and $250 per year. No transfer, substitution or cash equivalent for Google Store credit is allowed. Recipients must have Google Pay profiles registered to the country where the purchase was made in order for the Store Credit to be issued and once issued will be in the currency of the country where the purchase was made. The Store Credit can only be earned and used in the country of purchase. Store Credits cannot be used to purchase services. To accrue and redeem Store Credits, you must accept the Google Store Sales Terms. You can check how much Store Credit you have at store.google.com/account and contact support for any questions or issues. Individual shipping times may vary depending on shipping address and inventory supplies. Offer requires a Google account.
My store credit dropped just before black Friday week last year. That plus $50 off the Nest home hub, that sucker was mine for $50. This year it's $100, so I'm pretty sure the Nest hello will be mine, that or an outdoor camera for really cheap. Crossing fingers it comes before then!

Hi
Can someone please put up the rebate for the ATT tilt that was valid for December and up until now.
I bought a tilt last week of December and ATT seemed to have removed the rebate from premier, I had saved it somewhere but cant seem to find it.
If someone has the rebate form for premier and can post it online, I will really appreciate it.
Thanks
I'm 99% sure I have this saved at my work computer, but unfortunately I won't be back in the lab until Tuesday. If no one else posts it up by then, I can get it for you.
I can attain that for you!!
You mean this $100 rebate valid 11/04/07-01/19/08 that is still on the main ATT website listed with the Tilt?

What was the difference between the premier rebate and the regular store rebate forms. Just go into a corporate location and they should be able to get you one. I think its still 100 bucks. atleast thats what the ones here at my store say.
Make sure you got the unl. data plan or you only get 25$, and thats a whole nother form.
The regular rebates work just fine for premier orders.....
My rebate through Premiere is processed from this form. Hasn't been mailed yet, but it worked fine. Put

Crap so I got Smart Phone Connect which I guess doesn't qualify for the rebate?
If I sign up for the qualifying plan as I send in the rebate will that work?
Anyone know how strict they are with these?!??! CRAP!!

As promised.. here's the Premier rebate form for the last period

From the rebate:
+Requires activation on a PDA Personal Plan or a $39.99 or higher unlimited data rate plan or a $19.99 or higher messaging plan plus an AT&T Voice Plan of $39.99 or higher
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have the $39.99 plan and a $29.99 Smartphone Unlimited Internet+1500msg plan. I'm thinking it'll be fine per their description.
My question, is this only for new activation? I bought a TILT on Ebay and the user gave me the receipt + the proof-of-purchase/IMEI sticker. I already had an account. I'm curious if this is will work, or if I need a seperate rebate as this says "AT&T Online only". Anyone have the store-based rebates available for print?
Is this only for new activation or will an activation 19months ago work?
Rebate Visa
Don't forget, people, since they give a visa credit card, rather than a debit card, you must charge exactly $100 to get the full rebate. The combination of credit and an expiration date is a fantastic way for AT&T to pick up a couple of bucks here and there from each of us.
Since its a credit card, your charges either are within your credit limit or they aren't. Unlike a debit card, you can't take $2.87 off if that's what you have left (unless you are charging a $2.87 item).
Nothing to do or say ... it is as it is ... just be careful; or your $100 rebate will become $94.87

Gasoline purchases seem like a good way to bleed these cards dry, yes?
16gb nexus 7 deal.
Buy this before it gets sold out because of £20 discount for new customers (looks like code seems to work for existing customers too as reported elsewhere) so probably everyone can get 20£ off till tesco rectify the mistake or £10 off for existing customers via tesco direct. Delivery free for collection at store or get it delivered home for a additional charge. price includes 20% VAT by the way.
see discount codes and useful videos for the nexus 7 (including cases, apps, reviews etc) on this youtube playlist for the nexus 7 which is regularly updated with new videos time permitting!
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL07BDA26279B1EAF6&feature=mh_lolz
buy from http://www.tesco.com/direct/asus-go...1.prd?skuId=478-1521?icid=homepage_supp_slot3 but dont forget the discount codes
Hope this gets some here the 20£ off before stocks run out. stock alert came this morning from tesco.
credit for discount codes goes to hotukdeals website but got alerted to tesco stock early today by email from tesco.
Personally verified £10 discount code, the new customers code for £20 needs to be verified by someone else as my wife said she would kill me if i bought another one using a new account for her.
Update: Use cash back websites like quidco and topcashback and you can get extra cash back on your tesco purchase. £20 codes seems to work. But just read elsewhere that the £20 code excludes technology products so risk is transaction might be cancelled by tesco or might stop working for new purchases. Guess few might be lucky till tesco amend their systems to exclude the code.
update 2: Topcashback 3% cashback
£20 discount for order over £150 using this code: TDX-Y7LM
Collect in store next day, so saving £10 delivery too compared to google play store.
179 clubcard points
Total saving £30 over play store (£20 voucher + £10 delivery) plus additional 3% cashback 179 clubcard points
Edit. Please note the codes seem to change often or sometimes don't work. See updated on YouTube playlist and further links and updates on that YouTube playlist.
Worked
Worked for me! Thanks very much :good:

Thanks for posting this!
update. looks like out of stock now at tesco due to the rush of buyers. but try the codes when it comes back in a few days as it most certainly will.
Cancelled
Well the order I placed earlier has been cancelled by Tesco :crying:
Presumably they didn't want to honour the £20 saving offer.
I had already cancelled my HMV order too
Just my luck. Guess I'll just wait for it to appear in my local Currys.
Edit: Thought I would quickly check Currys website and would you believe it was showing as in stock for home delivery and reservation!
Reserved one and rang them to confirm it wasn't a glitch and it is correct. Picking, mine up in the morning
Jez
I got my delivery confirmation email. Am collecting it tomorrow evening. Looks like from hukd forums there have been 700 confirmed orders and 300 or so orders without it being in stock due to some glitch in their system. Try again when stock comes back. Set up am email alert for stock on their website as i had done a week ago. They emailed me at 0530am today hence ordered before it went out of stock. Any deal that gets posted on hukd soon goes out of stock as many folow that website. Usually many websites crash with referral from hukd as too many buyers try to buy at once. Best of luck when it comes back in stock as it surely will since tesco is UKs biggest retailer
back in stock now, need to register new account to get the £20 code to work as it is already associated with the cancelled order yesterday, hope its not another **** up their end
I just ordered one from Tesco Direct using the £10 off any purchases over £50.
Collect it tomorrow!
They aren't honouring the £20 code any more, comes up with "excluding electricals", £10 off code still works though.
Just ordered myself after cancelling the HMV order.
£175 in total including next day delivery tomorrow, that's using the £10 off code and staff discount, well chuffed :good:
Ordered mine yesterday using £20 off.
Being delivered today at some point.
Whats the £10 off code? I can't for the life of me seem to find it? The £20 off one doesn't seem to work anymore.
Don't bother tesco are worse than google I got this deal yesterday and they cancelled it what a bunch of w...... I rather give my money to google now and stay loyal to them be warned.

Just had this from Tesco :
We're sorry, but we're unable to complete your Tesco Direct order #######.
We work hard to make sure we have no problems with our deliveries, but in this case,we got it wrong.
The total refund that will be processed for items affected is £ 174.6
We've already started your refund - it usually takes 3-5 business days for any payment to appear in your account.
So i ordered as it was showing in stock, they took payment straight away and then 3 hours later i get that, not at all happy!

I got my Chromecast from Best Buy right when it first came out. My code for the 3 months of free NetFlix was printed directly on my Best Buy receipt. I'm a "Best Buy Rewards" member, so I don't know if that had any bearing on how I was presented my code, but the guy at Best Buy said something about me needing to check my email that I had associated with my Rewards account. I really can't remember why he mentioned that and I honestly don't remember even putting in my Rewards email for anything, but yea...it was printed right in the middle of my receipt.

Sometimes there's a grace period, though in this case my guess is that the Netflix employee that needs to turn it off has today off.
I hurried to order my 5x in order to get the $50 Google promotional credit, thinking I could use the credit balance to purchase from the Google store the USB-C cables I knew I would need.
Today, I went to order my cables, and the store wouldn't let me check out, saying "invalid payment method."
I went back to the offer, and in the fine print on the terms it says: "Items ineligible for purchase using promotional balance include certain subscriptions (see the Help Center for more information), as well as items in the Google Store." (emphasis added). You can only use the credit to buy intangibles, not actual things.
I feel ripped off, like it was a cheap bait and switch. Was I unreasonable to think I could use a Google credit to buy things at the Google store? You can use the Google credit from their marketing questions (Google opinion rewards) at the store. I don't need any games or movies, but I do need new cables.
That's my rant.
This has always been the case.
pretty sure it is google PLAY credit, not google STORE credit. so no, you won't able to spend play credit at the store.
I discovered that as well. Google Play credit, regardless of whether it was from this promo or the Opinion Rewards, cannot be used at the store. I called customer support to see if it could be applied to the type C wall charger they sell, and they wouldn't budge. Oh well.
I'm not happy that I can't use the balance on a charger, but I'm also not surprised. Physical equipment costs them a lot more than apps.
With the right cables, you can get away with using an older charger and a minimal difference in charge time. Most of those cables cost way less than google's quick chargers on the store.

You'll get an email to redeem the offer from the Googs. If you don't (say within a week or 2) I'd contact customer support
If you are a Play Music subscriber you can use it to pay that subscription, I was able to switch my recurring payment method to my Play credit balance.

I'm pretty sure you had to order by the 25th to get the play store credit.
To the OP, how can you feel ripped off for something you got for free? Entitled much? It's said for play store use only since the beginning, it's your own fault for not reading. Everything has fine print these days.
Yeah it definitely was the 25th. Any free money is good money. Paid for Nova Launcher prime for me!
Picked up Ellie Goulding album with some of my credit. I also had a promo for half off an album so total cost was less than $9 Play credit

I ordered mine on the 18th of October and had to call Google about the credit. It turned out there was an email with a redeem code. I bought nova prime as well! Love it.
And yes it's just Google play apps, BUT, if you're into dating apps, you can use the money towards ok cupid I know for sure but maybe some others as well. That's a plus as I'm trying to buy apps, but now I can't find any worth buying except nova launcher prime of course!

If you want a camera app with more manual controls, check out ProShot. I used my Google credit to purchase that as well. And Tasker so I can double tap the screen to turn off the phone.

My Google-Fu failed me today.
I went in Nov 1 to pick up my 6T, trading in an original OnePlus One for the $300 credit. After 2 weeks, nothing had happened with regards to said credit on my bill. When I looked at my receipt today, I noticed the trade in value of my One was $0 where it was supposed to be $300, since they evaluated the phone, and approved it in store. The receipt did have the proper model and the serial number on it, so a red flag did go up for me.
Then I tried looking online for anyone in a similar predicament and failed to find a case similar to mine. I went through the call back feature of T-Mobile's website to speak with a rep, which quickly went downhill. She insisted that the store had to mail in the One to a warehouse, who would then evaluate the phone to determine how much credit I was due. The phone was waiting on me to send in, according to her records. Her script, wherever she was, couldn't take into account that the entire transaction occurred in store, she hadn't heard of the OnePlus specific promotion the first week of Nov.
After less specific (Not this OnePlus promotion) searching on trade in credits from T-Mobile, I found the T-Force group on Twitter. After an hour in Chat waiting for a rep, the entire problem was resolved in a matter of minutes. My promotion was re-submitted with the RMA number given at trade in time, approved and an additional credit given for the earlier farce of customer service.
I was giving up on the T-Force ever responding, and had left 2 "reviews" with T-Mobile about the first call, one online and the other through the automated text after the initial call. I got a response just before giving another online rant about the Twitter waiting experience.
TLDR: Don't expect much from the 1st line of T-Mobile customer phone support. Use T-Force Chat on Twitter to resolve problems, just be a bit more patient than I initially was. Pay attention to your receipt details.
Mine is the same way bill came no credit called and they just transferred never said anything and sat on hold for ever.
So confused. You got $300 for your oneplus One?
So the way the promo works is this.
You get credits that day that on the value of the phone. That value is subtracted from $300 dollars, which you get the rest in the way of monthly bill credits over 24 months.
Let's say you trade in a one plus one. It's worth $0. Once the promo kicks in you get ,$12.50 or whatever every month on your account.
Let's say you trade in a Pixel 2 worth $100. They put $100 on your account right then, and then put the remaining $200 on your account in the form of bill credits over 24 months. So like 8.50 a month or whatever the credit will be.
You traded in a one plus one. Which is worth $0. You get none right away. And it can take up to 2 bill periods before your credits start kicking in.
Let's use myself as an example. I traded in an iPhone 6. The trade in value was $36. That $36 went towards taxes, so I only paid 20 something if the 50 something taxes. I will get $263 in monthly credit over the span of 24 months. So it's like $10,xx a month.
You actually did it the best way, as now you will get the most you can over the 24month period since your phone was worth $0. You'll get $12.50 I think it is over 24 months off your bill. Which is stated to be between 1-2 bill cycles before it kicks in.
All of this is explained in the details of the deal when it was going on. You do NOT instantly get $300 on your account for trading in your phone, nor did you trade in a phone worth that amount. You will get that amount, minus the initial worth, over 24 months.
The $300 credit is 12.50 a month for 24 months, yes. What I was told by the representative during the last conversation was the store should have shown the $300 value on the receipt instead of 0. Again, all of the listed phones on the promotion were automatically given the $300 credit over 24 months, according to the rep. Maybe I was being blown off, but I asked that specifically due to a zero value on the end of my receipt. Where I had the most issue was the initial conversation, the rep incorrectly told me that the warehouse would evaluate if my OnePlus One qualified for any credit due to age and condition. The store I traded in at did the evaluation, determined the One was functional and within the trade in parameters, and qualified for the special credit. I had heard and read about people getting the promotion applied within a week, so they could pay the phone off and continue receiving monthly credits. This is what I was waiting for myself.
This thread is to let people in a similar situation know, in my opinion, to skip the representatives from the T-Mobile website, and go straight to the T-Force folks on Twitter chat for actual results.
They specifically say that it can take up to two billing cycle for the credit to show up. I did this with 2 phones on day 1. I am not concerned unless it doesn't show up on the 3rd billing cycle.
I used to do that job with trades. If we or any store rep marked the phone as good no physical or liquid damage and powers on, then that's it and there's no changing it. It doesn't matter if the phone looked like it had been chewed on by rabid aids monkeys or disappeared, once it's approved as a good device, it's a good device and you should have got your credits.
There is no changing the condition at the store level after it's complete and there's def no warehouse that will change that rating for the customer. Now if it indeed is a jacked phone, the store itself gets hit with a loss, not the customer.
The rep probably hit the wrong check box in timo or if they had retail computers still, quick view . They make it easy to do that because of muscle memory of where to click over and over but it should have been caught before the end.
My guess is that you were talking to those completely inept and clueless idiots in the Philippines. Don't EVER deal with those people. ever!
Glad you got it worked out buddy
OMG those clueless agents in the Philippines on a weekend is a nightmare. Don't ever call TMobile on the weekend. You'll go straight to the. And they have absolutely no authority to make any decisions. You'll basically waste your time.

Must have been something else wrong with either your phone or your account. I traded in my old 3T with a scratched screen and got my $300.00 rebate within a couple of days. I have also unlocked my phone and received my unlocking.bin key from OnePlus and am now rocking the international version. Other than having to wait on customer service in the store, for what seemed like an eternetity, I have no issues with tmobiles version of the phone. Exactly as advertised.
They were trying to explain this to me in the store and it still doesn't make sense. I traded in a S8 which they send is worth $190 upfront and 110 in bill credits. What I don't understand (and am waiting for my bill before I say anything) is where did that $190 go? I know some of it went to pay for the taxes ($51) but where's the rest? I get that he was trying to explain what you just did but the rest of the 139 wasn't used to pay for anything. Can you help me understand that part?
I told him I didn't care how it broke down as long as I'm getting $300 back doesn't matter if it's in 1 shot or monthly.

Guys just make sure the discussion does not turn into an off topic rant.
Thanks,

All of my fun in store was in a suburb of Houston, TX. I saw people online have their credit show up far more quickly than I was experiencing, which started the events posted above. After the phone calls I went through, I went to Twitter. This is where I was told I should have seen the $300 credit on my receipt. The first rep whom I spoke with, and allegedly a supervisor later, told me I had to wait for the warehouse to approve my promotional credit, which didn't seem right. I was prepared to wait the 2 billing cycles if necessary. I just wanted to verify I was getting the monthly credits at some point. I may have come across still upset, which led to the immediate credit on this months bill, or they felt that the error was that egregious during my first interactions. I am impressed that the T-Force rep on Twitter was able to handle my situation so quickly, and I intended to share my opinion here that anyone in a similar situation bypass the phone reps and go online directly to Twitter chat with T-Force.
I traded in a OnePlus One that had been in a case with screen protector its entire usage, removed both that morning. The device was handled and evaluated minimally and determined to meet the requirements. The instore rep told me that the entire $300 credit would be applied in monthly payments, starting with the next cycle (beginning of Dec). I went home with the new 6T and didn't immediately worry about my bill. After 2 weeks had passed, I went through my account, usage, billing, etc and couldn't find anything. I found the RMA number on my receipt and put it in on the trade in page online, which showed the status at waiting for customer to mail phone in. Which was not what should have been showing according to the reps later on with a clue. What I was told was the trade in status should have updated fairly quickly, even if the monthly credits didn't appear as quickly. I don't know if any immediate trade in credit would show up on the account before the next cycle.
I believe the trade in page with RMA number should answer some of the other's questions.

Also, under plan on the My Account page, it now shows the 6T Promotion active on my account.

Out of your $300.00, if there is any money owed on your account, that amount is deducted, plus all sales taxes are also deducted. The rest of the monies are spread out over 2 years as credits. Depending on those aforementioned variables, that will determine how much ones monthly credits are.

The 190 goes toward the balance owed on the phone plus taxes.
You are buying the 6t for 580 + tax. Let's assume tax on your transaction was 60 bucks. 60 dollars out of your 190 credit will cover your taxes. The remaining 130 will apply towards the balance on the phone. The remaining balance will be 450. Your monthly equipment installment plan payment will be 450/24=18.75/month. You will receive a credit every month of 110/24=4.58 every month for 24 months. In total 300 dollars in credits .190 up front and 110 in bill credits.
They just told me trade in for the v30 is 90 bucks. So I get a 90 dollar bill credit then full credits on the device from then on is what I was told
I did the whole "payoff and unlock the phone" via twitter (after trying in store, on tmobile phone, and tmobile chat) a few weeks ago. The rep on twitter told me multiple times that I would still receive 24 monthly credits totaling $300 even though I paid the phone off early. A few days later I received another twitter message from her stating that she was unable to apply the credits over 24 months so instead she would apply a flat $300 credit to my bill. A few days later when I received my next bill there was a credit on it for $300. I'm shocked that she actually did what she said she would.
Just another data point that Twitter support from tmobile is good.

That's good to know they took care of you. I know my rep told me to wait until the payments kicked in before paying it off. Not to mention many here said the same thing. I guess this is what happens. The system doesn't know what to do if you're fully paid off. But it's good to see reps taking care of people by just giving full payments.

I'm not sure what their policy is on that either. The guy in store said if I tried to pay it off early I would lose my bill credits and an online rep confirmed that. On the t-mobile website, it says you can pay off an EIP early and still get your bill credits. The credits would be lost only if you cancelled your service. Which make sense because its a "contract" without being a contract.

He never explained that the remainder would act as a downpayment. If that's how it works, thats fine with me. Will wait until the bill comes to see what this looks like. Thanks
When I bought mine on the first day all I saw on the receipt was $16 for my Nexus 6. A couple of days later I got a text from T-Mobile stating that my promotional value was approved. I have checked online and I am getting the monthly credit.
