Google’s Pixel 11 phone preorders come with up to $350 in gift cards - The Verge

Google has officially unveiled its Pixel 11 series phones and Pixel Watch 5, available for preorder now with shipping starting August 20th, 2026.
The lineup starts at $899 for the base Pixel 11, $1,099 for the Pro, $1,299 for the Pro XL, and $1,899 for the Pro Fold, while the Watch comes in a 41mm model from $399 and a 45mm from $429.
Preorders through Best Buy, Amazon, and the Google Store include tiered gift cards: $100 with the Pixel 11, $200 with the Pro and Pro XL, and $350 with the Pro Fold.
Google is the only retailer to list an end date for the gift card promotion, set for August 27th, 2026.
Buyers who add a Pixel Watch 5 through Google or Amazon can receive credit toward that purchase instead of a gift card, with the Pixel 11 and 41mm watch bundle priced at $1,168.99, an effective $130 savings but only in obsidian.
Bundling a Pixel 11 Pro or Pro XL with a 41mm watch yields a $250 discount, though Amazon's bundles are limited to Wi-Fi watch versions and select color combinations, while the Google Store allows credit to be applied to other in-stock variants.
