GoKawiilGoogle’s new Pixel 11 phones are now up for preorder, and as always on usual launch-day, the question is where you should actually buy one. If you’re picking up an unlocked Pixel 11 model and don’t have a trade-in to use as leverage, Amazon has some familiar incentives to tempt you.
The retail monolith is bundling a gift card with every phone in the Pixel 11 family, and the card’s value varies by model. You get a $100 Amazon gift card with the standard Pixel 11, while the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL each come with a $200 gift card. Splash out on the $1,899 Pixel 11 Pro Fold, and the bonus climbs to $350.
You can get the same credit amounts if you buy from the Google Store, but it’s just that: store credit. The difference is that Amazon isn’t asking you to come back and buy more Google stuff. Its gift cards can be spent on almost anything Amazon sells, which is almost anything. As such, it’s almost akin to actual spending money.
Google does have some other preorder perks in the mix, including trade-in offers and Pixel Watch incentives. But if you’re simply buying the phone outright, Amazon’s deal is as straightforward as it gets, and you can use the credit somewhere far less restrictive. In fact, you may already have some Amazon store credit gathering dust in your account that you can use to save on the Pixel devices.
You have until the August 20 release of the Pixel 11 series to take advantage of this pre-order promotion. You can see the offers for yourself via the widgets on this page.
