Google’s brand-new Pixel 3/XL gets launch-day discounts: $100 GC or BOGO free

The Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL were just announced today, and we’re already witnessing some launch-day discounts. The best deal we’re seeing for one device is Best Buy’s $100 gift card with a monthly installment purchase. Both Best Buy and Verizon are offering buy-one-get-one-free Pixel 3 deals, too. Project Fi is even jumping in on the discount bandwagon, more details below.

Best Buy Pixel 3 Deals:

The $100 Best Buy gift card applies to any Pixel 3 or 3 XL purchase, as long as you purchase it on a monthly installment plan.

Best Buy is also offering Verizon customers buy-one-get-one-free when you purchase a Pixel 3 or 3 XL. Best Buy’s BOGO promo gives you up to $999.99 in credits toward a Pixel 3 or 3 XL.

Verizon Pixel 3 Deals:

If you’d rather go directly through Verizon, the cell phone giant is offering a similar buy-one-get-one-free promo allowing you to pick any secondary Pixel 3/XL device and receive $799 off of the price of that device.

For Verizon customers that use the MyVerizon app, you can bag a free Google Pixel Stand (a $79 value) with your purchase. This can stack with the BOGO deal. The Pixel Stand is a must-have accessory for any Pixel 3 or 3 XL owner. It has Qi wireless charging compatibility and integration with Nest products, among other neat features.

The only catch to both of these BOGO promos is that you’ll need to add a new line to one of the Pixel devices in order to receive the discount.

These are the best deals available for the brand-new Pixel 3 and 3 XL right now. With the holiday season just around the corner, you can be sure that these won’t be the only offers we track on Google’s latest devices.

Project Fi Pixel 3 Deals:

For consumers who use Project Fi, the cell company run by Google will be offering a $799 Fi service credit when you purchase two Pixel 3 or 3 XL devices and activate a new line of service. This essentially gives you a free Pixel 3 when you purchase two with the credit and is a great option for Fi users.
