Google Store celebrates 26th birthday with trade-in deals on Pixel 9 Pro and a free keychain

If you’re ready to make the switch to the new Google Pixel 9 Pro or the 9 Pro XL, then Google has some sweet deals for you. Google Store is marking its 26th birthday with a slew of enticing offers. The celebration, which runs until September 30, 2024, features elevated trade-in values for Pixel devices and a complimentary gift with select purchases.

The star of the show is undoubtedly the increased trade-in value for devices when purchasing the Pixel 9 Pro series. Customers can receive up to $760 back when trading in eligible devices towards the purchase of a Pixel 9 Pro or Pro XL. This matches the generous trade-in values offered during the pre-order period, giving latecomers a second chance at significant savings.

For those eyeing the latest foldable technology, the same maximum trade-in value applies to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Notably, even older models like the Pixel 5 can fetch a respectable $245 trade-in value, while more recent flagships from competitors, such as the iPhone 15 Pro, can net up to $600.

Budget-conscious shoppers haven’t been forgotten either. The already affordable Pixel 8a sees a $100 price drop, bringing its cost down to a very attractive $399. Google is also offering the Pixel Watch 3 for as low as $0 with eligible smartwatch trade-ins. Additionally, purchases of the Pixel Buds Pro 2 come with $30 in Google Store credit, perfect for accessories or future purchases.

As a festive touch, Google is including a limited-edition “Google birthday keychain” with purchases of select devices, including the Pixel 9 series, Pixel Watch 3, and Pixel Buds Pro 2. This commemorative gift is available until September 27, 2024, while supplies last.

Apart from the obvious Pixel devices, Google is also discounting some Fitbit devices like the Ace LTE and the Sense 2. So, what device are you looking to secure with the ongoing birthday deals on Google Store? Let us know in the comments section below.
