This past Tuesday, Google introduced the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The pre-order period started immediately and as an incentive, Google is giving a free pair of Pixel Buds A-Series true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds to those who reserved either phone. In their rush to lock in one of the new Pixel 6 series handsets, some buyers forgot to redeem the offer and some just couldn’t get around to it as they rushed to lock in their pre-order.
Now, these consumers are sitting on their beds, fists balled up in rage wondering if there is a way for them to get another crack at the free Pixel Buds-A Series accessory. But there is good news: Google just posted an updated support page in which it wrote to consumers that “If you’re eligible for the Pixel Buds A-Series promotion but forgot to add Pixel Buds A-Series to your phone order, don’t worry. We’ll send an email by November 3rd with next steps on how to redeem the offer.”
Pre-order the Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro right now!
Google also sent out emails to some customers who pre-ordered unlocked Pixel 6 models telling them that if they forgot to include the free earable, Google will have their back. And some who pre-ordered a Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro got in touch with Google before the company posted the updated support page. Those customers were told to order the Pixel Buds A-Series separately, lay out the money for the purchase ($99), and were told that Google will pay them back via a refund.
Just to be clear, if you forgot or were distracted, or just couldn’t redeem the offer for a free Pixel Buds-A Series when pre-ordering your new Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro, don’t consider it a lost opportunity. Google will either contact you before November 3rd or will reimburse you for laying out the $99 needed to buy the TWS earbuds.
