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.
