Google Play Pass trial grants Gold status for Pixel 11 Pro XL discounts
Key points
- Play Pass trial grants automatic Gold status in Play Store.
- Gold status unlocks $125-$175 discounts on Pixel 11 phones.
- Users can cancel Play Pass trial after claiming discount.
- Discounts can be combined with trade-in and store credit offers.
Accessing Pixel Discounts via Play Pass
Google Play Store users can secure discounts on the new Pixel 11 series by attaining Gold status. This status is typically earned by spending money on apps, games, and other content within the Play Store. However, a free month-long trial of Google Play Pass automatically upgrades a user's account to Gold status, making the discounts accessible.
How the Discount Works
Once Gold status is activated through the Play Pass trial, users can access a discount ranging from $125 to $175 on Pixel 11 phones, with the exact amount varying based on the specific device. The Play Pass trial can be canceled before the billing period begins, allowing users to benefit from the discount without incurring subscription costs.
Combining Savings
These Play Store discounts can be combined with other ongoing promotions, such as trade-in offers for older devices and store credit. For example, a user could combine the Play Store discount with a trade-in value for an older Pixel phone and an additional credit for a Pixel Watch 5, significantly reducing the total cost of a new Pixel 11 Pro XL and accessories.
