Overview
- Google’s anniversary “birthday” sale, launched Wednesday, Sept. 16, runs through Sept. 24 and pairs direct price cuts on Pixel 10-series phones with Google Store credits for Pixel 11 models.
- Google Store credits are set at $100 for the Pixel 11, $225 for the Pixel 11 Pro, and $425 for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold instead of upfront cash discounts for those models.
- Amazon posted straight cash reductions on select Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro Fold SKUs that reached new Amazon all-time lows, including the Pixel 11 512GB at $899 and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold 512GB at $1,899.
- Best Buy is matching Google’s credit values through gift-card offers for Pixel 11 family purchases, which preserves in-store credit value but does not lower the immediate cash price.
- Shoppers should compare immediate cash discounts versus store-credit or gift-card value, check stock and regional pricing differences, and expect these time-limited promotions to reflect post-launch inventory moves for the Pixel lineup.
