I've looked in my Google Wallet, etc. I never received the $50 credit from Google. I ordered it within a minute after the Nexus 5x went live. Thanks in advance for the help.

I was under the impression that the phone comes with a physical card with a code redeemable for the $50 credit. I don't know if that's true or not, but I won't get concerned until after I get the phone tomorrow.

I was thinking the same thing, but I do remember reading that it was going to be emailed once the phone shipped. We'll see.
"Purchase a Nexus 5X by 10/25/2015 and get an email with a Google Play promotional credit once it ships. Redeem offer before 12/31/15. Terms apply.*"
So once your order ships, you should then receive an email with the promo credit attached.
i also am waiting for the email with $50 credit and code for half off nexus case.
My order has shipped and I did not receive a code.

I was hoping the same thing, that I could use the credit to purchase a case for the 5x. But the fine print on the Google store says:
"... Google Play credit cannot be used on the Google Store. Some subscriptions excluded. ..."
Looks like the credit can only be used for App purchases.
My bet it won't come until after the return period ends. If not a lot of people could buy a lot and then return them once they get the credit applied.

I contacted their support, was advised to wait up to 48 hours for the email. I've already received my 5x so only time will tell.

Usually they just reduce the refund by the card value if it was already redeemed.
I contacted Play Store costumer service and they said it should have come 24 hours after shipping. Mine shipped over 24 hours ago so I emailed my rep back to get things looked at more. I hope it comes soon! I got some things to download! x3

Same here. Has ANYONE received their $50 credit?
I just talked to Google rep. He said you should get email of it within 96 hours of after your phone has shipped.
I got mine a couple hours ago, phone arrived yesterday morning, so about 36 hours after receiving phone I got the code in my email.
My 5x was delivered yesterday. I set it up last night and overnight I received the $50 Credit.
It is just a code via email.
I received my 5X yesterday and I received the $50 credit email as I was setting up the phone and updating it last night.
My phone shipped on Wednesday. I didn't receive my phone yet, but I received the code via email for two phones.
My phone shipped Wed., got the code today. Kinda felt deceived by the case promotion since it was only for the Adopted case. I thought it would be for any case in the Google Store. Pretty disappointed by that.
according to droid-life, that's the case.

This is the only bit of info that's available on Pixel's page.
"Pre-order Pixel and get a promo code for the Daydream View — on us"
Awesome news, I had no clue. Apparently that also applies for preorders through Fi
It actually says
Terms and Conditions
Offer applies to redemption of one Daydream View VR headset with the pre-order of a Pixel phone on the Google Store in the U.S. starting on 10/4/2016 and available while supplies last. After a qualifying purchase of a Pixel phone, a promo code will be emailed within approximately 4 weeks from the Pixel phone shipment date. The promo code must be used on the Google Store before 12/31/2016 and will expire after this date. The promo codes are not stored value, are for one-time use only, cannot be transferred to other users, cannot be exchanged for cash or cash equivalent, and have no balance after one-time use. Google Inc. is not liable for lost or stolen promo codes, or for expired promo codes that are not redeemed before 12/31/2016. To be eligible, user must be a US resident, age 13 or older, and have or activate a Google Payments account. Terms subject to applicable laws. Void where prohibited.
I just got my promotional e-mail from google mailing list that i signed up for about the pixel phones.
It says right in the text "pre-order pixel and enjoy the new Daydream View VR headset on us"
That should confirm that its a promo code for 100% off.
USA only. Nice one Google.
I ordered my phone from the Google Store right after the conference but before this email went out. I wonder if I will get a promo code or not?

I'm in the same boat. I'm sure there are many of us that ordered before the email went out. Wouldn't make sense for the first people to order to not get the free headset. Just in case, I'll have my torch and pitchfork ready to go. [emoji16]

I hope I get the vr. That'll take the sting out of these pricey phones. Still can't believe no 64gb version.
NICE! Free VR headset if we ordered through Google. I didn't want one, but for free I'll sure as he'll try it.
Yes... I agree. 32gb to 128? I have a 64 gb 6p and its perfect.
Yeah. Don't understand the 32gb-128. And VR daydream is not free. You had to buy a way over priced phone first. Lol

That's really not fair to people outside the US who have made pre-orders. Booo.
And Canada gets a 3 months free Google music subscription ONLY if you're not a member already.. bs.
I just got an email from Google saying that I am confirmed to get a code for the Daydream View about 4 weeks after my order ships. It's good that they don't leave you hanging wondering.

All models get this daydream offer? I haven't seen any emails about it yet after I ordered earlier.
Has anyone that ordered their Pixel from Google received their code for the Daydream View yet? Says on the Google Store that is will ship in 2-3 weeks. Just curious.
we get the code 4 weeks after purchase, read the email they sent you after your preorder.
Thanks for being one of the first to order Pixel, a phone by Google. Because you made your purchase during the pre-order period, you're eligible to receive the new Daydream View virtual reality headset on us.
Within approximately four weeks of your phone shipping, you will receive a promo code via email which you can use to redeem your Daydream View on Google Store, as long as you didn't cancel your order or return your Pixel phone. Full terms of the promotion can be found below.*
Get ready to experience high-quality, immersive VR with your Pixel and Daydream View.
Sincerely,
The Google Store Team

To be fair, "Within approximately four weeks of your phone shipping" could mean anytime between the day your phone ships and six weeks from then.
I could've sworn I had already received the code and submitted my receipt to Verizon. But now I can't find the email to save my life
I had received the code and submitted my claim. It says that they received my information and said try back in a week. This is threw vzw not Google tho.

Missed a UPS package from Verizon today. Anyone know if it might be the Daydream? Anyone get theirs today? The only other thing it could be is a return box for my note 7, so I'm not sure. Seems awful quick to be the VR headset. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Also, it requires signature, so hopefully it's the Daydream.
Got my phone from google store and the email said "within approximately four weeks of your phone shipping". So that could be before or AFTER it was shipped.

The email I received noted that I would receive promo code to redeem. I don't think they are sending them automatically but sending codes and then you would have to order it from store.

Yea, I wasn't sure how to interpret that either.
On wikipedia it says Nov. 10 but everywhere else just says November.
I checked the reference and it says nothing about the 10th.
I pre ordered a 64gb Pixel XL black. I show a shipping date of Oct 17th. My bank account was charged this morning for for the phone. Is anyone else having this issue? I should not have been charged Until the phone ships.
The amount is reserved from your credit card, and charged just before the phone is shipped. You won't be charged by your bank until the phone is shipped.
That is the way it has always been. Yes my account was charged for the total amount. I have checked my shipping status and nothing has changed. It could be the phone has shipped. I had read here on XDA that someone had indicated their shipping status had changed to shipped.
£799 isn't for me, it doesn't offer enough change to warrant that............Mate 10 looks more interesting
I just ordered my Pixel XL 2. Have not checked bank charge online yet to see if they billed card yet
I ordered but have not gotten a initial hold charge on my card...should I be worried
Anyone going to send their old one in for buy back?
Also T-mo is offering to pay for half of one if you bring it over....
I was charged as well, mine shows an arrival date of the 20th-24th for the Pixel 2 XL 64GB black.

I am sending my Pixel XL in after I receive the new one. Google is offering the highest trade value @ $400 verses $300 on Verizon.
Whenever I've ordered a phone, I have never gotten charged until it shipped. My galaxy s7 edge preorder was that way. I got a shipping notice within a day I think? Anyway, *hopefully* that means they are shipping early! I would be thrilled. This sammy phone needs to gtfo... Anyway, I checked my finance site, shows pending still. Not sure if the financing deal will work the same though. I would think it would though in case you decided to cancel the order. I guess we'll see! Update this for sure if you get a shipped notice!

I signed up for the trade in, but I'll see what my 128GB Pixel XL is going for on Swappa and eBay before I decide to send it to Google or not. I'd like to sell my cases, screensavers, and original Daydream with the phone, and of course Google won't give me anything for them.
It's not a charge. It's a pending authorization to make sure the funds are in your account. This usually drops off in 2 to 10 business days if the phone has not shipped by then. It's a very common practice I don't know why people think it's going to ship early.

What did they tell you exactly? Since you don't send in the trade in until after you receive the new phone, I would think that all they can do is void the trade in deal. If I can sell it for more than the trade in, that is what I would want anyway.

The recovery kit has already been shipped to me. It should be here tomorrow. I should know more then.. They said if I don't follow through with the trade-in my order would be be voided. I was shocked! He said, I'd have to cancel my order and re-order if I was going to sell my phone to my friend.

I don't really believe that, because my order was placed on the 4th with trade-in. My order shipped on the 30th. Estimated delivery of Nov 4-6. I need that new phone in my hands before I even think of sending my XL back, and that will be over the 30 days. So if I have the 2XL in my hands, how would me not following through with the trade-in affect my order? Doesn't make sense.. 30 days starts when you receive the new phone; your order can't be affected by you sending/not sending your old phone in.

I am. $400 for a used 32 GB Pixel XL Black was too much to pass up. $500 for the new pixel is fine with me. I wasn't even considering it until I saw how much they are offering for 1st gens.

I don't believe that either. When checking out with the trade-in, it was almost like a separate line item or transaction. You have to pay full price up front for the phone and I really doubt they would void your purchase after already shipping your new Pixel XL 2.
If I had a bunch of extra accessories, I'd definitely try to sell it as a bundle for more.
