Google’s Pixel referral program gets a fresh boost

Google is cranking up the fun this week by extending its Pixel Referral Rewards program to more users in the US. What started as an exclusive invite-only offer last December is now getting a boost — Google just sent out a cheerful “Refer a friend to Pixel. Get $50” email to invite even more fans to join in on the rewards.

Originally, the program let early participants share up to 10 referral codes via store.google.com/referrals, earning a crisp $50 in Google Store credit for each friend who purchased a Pixel. The twist? Friends using these codes snagged a 10% discount on the priciest Pixel in their cart. With each code valid only for a single use, the offer kept things exciting — and exclusive — with a potential of earning up to $500 in credit.

In a nod to its savvy users, Google explained that the discount could mix with other offers, though it might take a rain check during peak times like Black Friday or new product launches. And if you’re worried about returns, rest easy: the Google Store credit only kicks in about 30 days after your friend’s purchase clears the return period.

Now, with the new email rolling out this week, Google is signaling that it’s time for more Pixel lovers to get in on the action. If you’re in the US and eligible, head over to store.google.com/referrals to get your unique code and start sharing the love. While not everyone has access just yet, the company hints that eligibility will continue to expand over time.

So, if you’ve been waiting for a fun and rewarding way to spread the word about Pixel, your moment might have just arrived. Grab your referral code, share it with friends, and soon you could be racking up Google Store credit.
