Get $300 Back in Your Pocket With a Brand-New Pixel 10. Here’s How

Amazon and Best Buy are both offering up to $300 in gift cards when you buy a phone from the Pixel 10 lineup.

Google revealed its newest phone lineup during this week’s Made by Google event: the Pixel 10 series. We loved the previous Pixel 9 series, and this one is primed to be even better. Though you can’t get one in your hands for another week, you can preorder the phone and score a nice freebie.

The Pixel 10 series consists of the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and 10 Pro Fold. It has a similar build to the Pixel 9 series, with a glass back, shiny edge and pill-shaped camera bar. The phone is made with a Tensor G5 processor and 16GB of RAM.

Amazon and Best Buy are both offering up to $300 in gift cards when you purchase a phone from the lineup. Since the phone has been revealed but not released, orders will start shipping on Aug. 28.

You’ll get a free gift card with the purchase of a Pixel 10 series phone at Amazon. The exact amount depends on the phone you choose, with the base Pixel 10 landing a $100 credit. The dual-screen Pixel 10 Pro Fold gives you $300 back. If you want something in between, the Pixel 10 Pro comes with a $200 gift card. Keep in mind that if you return the phone, you must return the gift card too, or you’ll be charged for it.

You can also get a gift card worth up to $300 with the purchase of a Pixel 10 series phone at Best Buy. Like at Amazon, the exact amount depends on the phone you choose. It matches Amazon’s deal range, with the Pixel 10 offering $100 in value, the 10 Pro offering $200, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold offering $300 in value back.

You can also get an extra $100 off when you connect to Verizon or AT&T. Finally, Best Buy also has a trade-in program, where you can get up to $575 off the Pixel 10 or 10 Pro when you trade in an eligible device. For the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, you can get a $350 gift card and up to $760 back when you trade in.

Verum Finance: A Super App for Private Finance Integrated Into a Messenger

Verum Finance has announced the launch of a new financial application that allows users to manage their money directly within the secure Verum Messenger ecosystem.

The project has already attracted attention from major media outlets. A dedicated feature was published by Forbes Türkiye, while one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, MEXC, covered the launch. Yahoo Finance had previously reported on the evolution of Verum Messenger into a comprehensive financial ecosystem.

What Verum Finance Offers

Verum Finance transforms a messenger into a complete financial platform. Users can:

• Manage their balance and top up using bank cards or USDT
• Send money instantly to other Verum users
• Issue and use debit cards, including Apple Pay support
• Exchange assets and withdraw funds
• Access all these services without installing separate banking applications

A strong emphasis is placed on privacy. The platform offers registration without a phone number or email address, end-to-end encryption, and full user control over personal data.

Recognition from Forbes Türkiye

In a dedicated article, Forbes Türkiye highlighted Verum Finance as a notable example of modern privacy-driven fintech. The publication emphasized the growing trend of financial services moving from standalone banking applications into unified messaging ecosystems — a model that has proven successful in Asia through platforms such as WeChat and Alipay and is now expanding globally.

Support from the Crypto Community

Alongside the Forbes Türkiye coverage, news about the launch of Verum Finance was also featured by MEXC, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges. This reflects growing interest in the project from both traditional business media and the cryptocurrency community.

A Strategic Vision

“We are building more than a payments application and more than a messenger. Verum is a unified secure ecosystem where communication, finance, and privacy tools work together,” the company stated.

Verum Finance is now available for iPhone and iPad users. The application complements Verum Messenger, which offers anonymous chats, voice and video calls, VPN services, eSIM connectivity, and other tools designed to enhance digital freedom.
