Yupper.
Sick of waiting, figured I'd give the 611/Retention scheme a try and was surprised when the CSR went ahead and processed my order with no hassles whatsoever. Never even had to do the whole retention thing. Retail price was $350 -$50 loyalty discount w/ waived upgrade fee and $50 MIR(form being snail mailed she said).
Take it for what it's worth...there still isn't an "official release date for retail" and maybe I just got lucky, but there it is.

The core stores will be able to sell the Tilt 2 on the 18th of this month.
On the phone ordering now, but they have to go through their system and not the website. Through retail/611
got mine thru CSR too. ordered it this morning.
I called them, tried to get transferred to retentions but they wouldn't transfer because they said that retentions is an internal department. so I asked the CS rep if I could upgrade to the tilt 2.
I told her I would go to T-mo since they sell the phone for $50 on the win-mo website, so she dropped it to 300, then took an additional 50 off for loyalty. so I paid 250 w/ MIR.
I couldn't wait any longer. ridiculous AT&T. ridiculous.
I ordered mine as well this morning and hoping it will come tomorrow since it is overnight shipping
Just ordered mine!
$350 - 50 MIR, and the CSR was very nice -- she waived my upgrade and Premium shipping fees.
Bit miffed I couldn't get it at the prices some people were getting through Premier -- or sooner, for that matter -- but I'll live.
No one is getting cheaper than that because people are just talking since no one is ready to show the receipt

What are "core stores"? Are they official At&t retail stores and not "retail partners"?
$125 Got it today
I had already posted this in another thread.
I paid the $350 +TAX will obiously use the $50 rebate. Got FedEx next day shipping for free. Got a $175 credit onto my account to offset the cost of the phone. So my price will be $125 +TAX all said and done. It wasnt very hard to get them to work with me. Since they credited the account not discounting the device I will still get to use the MIR.
Good Luck everyone. Hope to see you get great deals!

cheaper then what? i got mine for 199.99. i'll show you the receipt when i receive my phone on friday if you want.
Some stores have already gotten tilt 2s in. And some will already sell them before oct. 18th. One store here got 4 in today when I stopped in looking for a case for mine and said they would sell them today. Granted many stores may not see them till the 18th or sell them till then. You can always call around as I did to find out. I ordered mine thru rententions yesterday (I got it today 299.99 free overnight shipping plus a 50.00 mail in rebate =249.99) It all depends what rep you get, what mood there in and how generous they feel.
For those of you who are getting the tilt 2 for ~$249.99, is this with a new 2 year contract??

Yep. That's what I got mine for. I didn't mind re-upping.
Hi,
Just ordered mine from 611/CSR.
Rep I spoke to gave no indication it was not available and I played along, I just want my Tilt2. Got it for $299.99 plus MIR (Had a $50 upgrade credit available)
So should have it in 2 Bus. days.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Picked mine up at a corporate store last night. I did not previously order one or have one on reserve, just called as asked. They said they received a few in their shipment yesterday (10/14 US, 14/10 for those on the other side of the lake).

How did you do that? Did you just ask them straight up or did you have to play some games with them? I'd like to know.
I just picked up my Tilt 2 from a retail store. The lady seemed more than happy to sell it to me. She said they got 3 in and she didn't seem to know anything about the 18th release date.
I did call numerous other stores before I ended up at the one that sold me the phone. One store said they only had the Pure in, another said the release date was the 18th, another said that they got the Tilt 2 in but was unable to sell it at the non-commitment price because they had so little in (I then asked her how long she thought I would have to wait before I could buy it at the non-commitment price, and she said 'about a month').
Anyway, i'm just glad I got the phone. I am loving it. The screen is beautiful and I haven't encountered any issues so far. Totally worth the $499 I paid.
Yay!!
I just got mine last night! I have a family member who works at one store and I know people from the CSR's up to the Reigonal Mgrs. They all have been told to say the 18th...a Sunday?? But they started getting shipments as of yesterday.
Some stores are going to have MS people setup Kiosks and show people the Pure and the Tilt 2.
Now... when to start flashing.
See ya Fuze... it was great while it lasted! 8)

What did you say or do to get that price + rebate?
Did anyone order from Best buy and checkout show a $200 BB gift card included ? The best buy web site shows you get a $100 best buy E - gift card with purchase of pixel or xl. Well when I ordered my black xl with payment plan on a new account the offers came up on checkout one was a $200 gift card and the 2nd option was the $100 gift card. The $200 gift card option listed something about available until 11-13-16 I believe. Any way I picked the $200 gift card I just hope that is what I get just because their web site only lists the $100 e gift at the main purchase pages. Unless the $200 one is a verizon one ?
Any way I ordered the black xl 32 gig model. I wanted 128 gig but bb does not sell the 128 gig. Another odd thing is during checkout verizon required me to port in a number from another carrier ? Maybe that is part of the $200 gift card. Guess I should have taken a screen shot of those offers for my proof so I for sure get the $200 gift card and not the $100 e gift card which is a bb one.
Also odd thing they showed the black xl 32 gig in stock at local best buy stores where the ship options showed 11-2-16 for 2 day shipping and 11-7-16 for free shipping those being expected delivery dates, so they estimated mine for pick up today being ordered today, where verizons web site lists them as being back ordered until 11-9-16 but this bb deal is better with the gift card plus a free chromecast.
So if anyone wanting a good buy check out best buy and chime in if you got a $100 or $200 gift card coming and if you can tell if your gc is a bb or verizon one ? The $200 one listed verizon promotion so hope the $200 is a verizon one and I will add it to my verizon bills lol.

This cool be why you seen the additional 200 applied. Their giving 100 GC for any Verizon phone purchased on device payments...
The $200 gift card is for a new line of Verizon service at Best Buy. It's been going on for a couple weeks. I bought an iPhone 7 in store last week and received it at the time of the purchase. The gift card is for Best Buy, and I was able to use part of it to pay for tax on the phone. The following terms indicate the gift card will be delivered after an online purchase. The $100 would also be a Best Buy gift card, but it would go to Verizon customers that are not getting a new line of service.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/verizon-smartphones-evn4314
I originally tried to order the phone on bestbuy.com and the first way i did it it gave me the option of a $150 gift card then i tried to open a new line on my account and it gave me the option for a $200 gift card..... couldnt get it to work online but went into a store and got my new pixel xl with a $200 gift card....... Last week i dont think the offer is valid anymore though

No actually the $100 best buy e card was the first option, where option # 2 was the $200 gift card. After searching the net I believe the $200 gift card is also best buy one. I wish it was a verizon gift card to pay my verizon bills with lol.

The list the offer for $200 gift card is extended to 11-13-16 I believe but it is still in effect for sure.
I had a not so fun experience with best buy on line order of a black pixel xl 32 gig. I ordered like 6am on saturday morning. The web site listed in stock and for pick up that day so I pulled the trigger. So like 9:12 am est saturday morning I got an email and text both showing the order was ready for pick up. So I made a 35 mile drive to get to the store to pick it up. I was there an hour guy couldnt find the phone then they tell me oh only the free chromecast that came with the order was there lol. I was like wtf your email and text did not list only part of the order was in. So I asked to speak to the sales guys boss and explained hey this was not right I feel that you should be able to give me a gift card for wasting my saturday afternoon and my wasted gas. He said oh I cant do anything. So I said I would like to talk to the store manager and he refused also said he cant just give out gift cards. I said then how about you at least take back the chromecast that I really had no use for and just give me a gift card for its value and he said he couldnt, I think doing that was not being anything but fair and no deal. So I was going to write down his name and he gave me his best buy business card. I said ok I will call customer service about it when I get home.
So I did and the woman looked my order up and she said yeah shes not sure why their web site let me select store pick up when the pixel xl is on back order until 11-7-16 She apologized and said there was nothing she could do on the phone not shipping until 11-7-16, and I said well I just feel like I got the run around and wasted my saturday afternoon and 70 miles of driving gas as 35 miles each way. So she offered me a $50 best buy gift card I was shocked as I was expecting less of a gift card maybe half that. I thanked her and said I felt that was more than fair and I really appreciated it.
The gist of it is best buy at their stores no longer have a 100% customer satisfaction policy anymore, and either cant do anything to make things right or they just plain refuse to, but if you call customer service they are more willing to listen and be fair and make things right, well actually for me they more than made things right which I appreciated what they did to fix the situation.

How did you manage to use it to pay the taxes ? I thought they list you get the card after you activate as in they send it to you ? Or did you purchase out right if that makes any difference as mine is on the payment plan lol
I ordered Saturday ( yesterday ) from Best buy and I just already got the $200 bb gift card emailed to me. I was shocked figured they would wait to send it until after the pixel xl was activated. A nice surprise, the card being a verizon gift card would have been more nice but hey cant look a gift horse in the mouth lol or at least we shouldnt lol. Would be nice if you could use a best buy gift card on your verizon bill and being bb is a verizon dealer they could really do that if they decided to and verizon just credit back bb for it, but yeah that would be having your cake and eating it too lol.
Use it this way
A BB gift card is good for anything BB sells, purchase a visa gift card with the BB card
Problem solved profit.

I bought it on the payment plan, since that was listed in the terms, and the Best Buy outright price is higher. If you buy in store you get the gift card at the time of the phone sale, so they allowed me to use the gift card on the sale. When I returned the iPhone the Best Buy employee only found two stores in my state that listed having the Pixel currently in stock.

Mine had the pixel xl listed in stock but it was wrong and its on back order. I got an email the day after with my $200 best buy gift card. It definitely makes up for the phone being overpriced.
My best buy order of my pixel xl 32 gb that I placed on 6am est saturday the 29th was estimated to be on back order until 11-7-16 then yesterday the 31st I got a ship email from best buy and the UPS tracking showed it actually got picked up. Crazy thing is I didnt pay extra for shipping but they must have given me free overnight shipping because UPS shows its for delivery today so yeah that is one day shipping lol. Very much a nice surprise
I'm looking for anyone who can help me out with any photo's or proof of their $100 playstore credits from Bell. I preordered the Pixel XL on October 6th, received the phone October 24th, and should have received my credit by October 25th, it's now the 30th and I have received nothing, I've been on the phone with Bell countless times, I've been in store twice, and been in contact with google twice with no avail.
Bell keeps trying to tell me this promotion doesn't exist and they don't show anything about it and that I need to take it up with Google. Google tells me I bought the phone with Bell so the preorder offer is to only be fulfilled with Bell.
It's an endless loop that I've been suffering through for the last 7 hours and I'm looking for any proof of this offer so I can send it to them or possibly lawyers because they seems to be trying to hide their ass and playing it off like nothing like this existed. The only information I can now find on this offer is on MobileSyrup with a list of the offers that were listed for preorders.
Since the phone was released, all carriers have now charged their preorder pages so not show the preorder offers (obviously, because the preorders can no longer be preordered)
Rogers was offering a free chromecast and a $50 playstore credit, Bell and Telus were both offering $100 playstore credits, and Google directly was offering a free Daydreamer VR voucher for when it's released.
So please, any help on this, confirmations from Bell texts showing you received a code, pictures of the preorder offer proving there was a $100 playstore credit offered, emails or sms showing proof of this offer, screen shots of their webpage, anything because they're trying to screw me out of this and if I had known this was going to be such a pain in the ass to get my $100 credit I would have just bought it from Google and got a VR voucher instead.

The free VR was only available in the US.
Okay well Google told me the only offer they had was for a free VR with preorder, that was when I talked to them earlier today so maybe the person I was speaking with from Google didn't know what was a US offer only, regardless, this is mainly to figure out the Bell preorder offer and according to the local Bell location here, there was 15 preorders at that store and I'm the only person who has come back to say they didn't receive the playstore credit, the local Bell employees are also aware of this offer and have told me that I should have received a text within 24 hours of activating the phone before the 24th and within 48 hours after activating the phone after the 24th, which I activated on the 24th at 8:11pm EST, I still haven't received anything and Bell actually just called me back right now saying they were so and so supervisor who is over looking this issue and she's flat out telling me this doesn't exist and they have never offered this deal. They are flat out lying, I saw it on their website for preorders, and on mobile syrup.com they also quote the identical offers I saw and that's the only source I can find to confirm this was a real offer.
The lady that also called me just now was extremely rude trying to tell me I had to fill out some magical three forums to get the voucher that she previously told me doesn't exist and that I didn't fill them out right which is why I didn't get the preorder, yet I have a receipt and preorder number confirming I do in fact have a preorder about this and have emails to thank me for preordering a Pixel XL with Bell.
Any information from any websites, the more information I have, the more I can prove this offer was real because Bell is flat out lying by telling me this offer does not exist, and within the same call they then told me I didn't fill out the forum for this offer correctly, the offer they just told me doesn't exist.. so something fishy is going on, I've also recorded all calls I've made today as proof because they're trying to pull some sneaky crap right now and I don't trust them at all anymore.
This is the link that quotes the exact sales Bell advertised on their website however white/silver one was only for the pixel in 32gb and 128gb was only offered for the pixel xl and the pixel xl was only offered in black.
At the time of pre-order the 128gb model said sold out so I was never given an option for the xl, only black 32gb at the local bell store.
http://mobilesyrup.com/2016/10/04/h...ing-for-google-pixel-and-pixel-xl-pre-orders/
However, as the phone is now released, Bell changed their website because the "pre-order offer" is no longer in effect since it's been released so that link now brings you to the normal order page for the pixel, which is why Bell is now telling me that offer never existed and I'm apparently making it up and there's a magical form that she hung up on me when I asked her what forum it is so I can ask the local store what forum this is for the preorder to make sure it was filled out and that's how I got my pre-order receipt.
I had the exact same issue. Also got it from Bell with a preorder. I made sure to ask the rep when I ordered about the promotion and she told me I would receive a text message with the code on Oct 25. Long story short...received no such message. Called Bell...they pushed me off to Google. Google pushed me back to Bell. I called Bell again and they acted like I was making it up. I referenced their site had said it but how now changed...I told them about a Mobil Syrup Tech site that still mentioned it and even brought up Rogers having a promotion to...but instead of $100 Google Play Credit...with Rogers it was $50 and a free Chromecast. They eventually agreed to give me a $100 plus tax bill credit instead. I accepted this and then got a $115 credit on my bill. Good luck. Bell is trying to screw us and the fact that they gave me the bill credit made me believe they knew they had done wrong. Wonder how many others they've screwed this way.
Bell phone me again just now and it was someone higher up telling me they're sorry for the issues of me having to call them 6 times today so they did the identical thing, $107.98 bill credit on my next bill so we'll see if it was actually applied on November 7th.
This is pretty shady of them, next promotion I'm taking pictures of all evidence that it actually existed before ever applying for it. Live and let learn that no company can apparently be trusted.
Glad I'm not the only one though. Hopefully they make amends on this and start actually giving out the credit they promised customers.

Here I went with Play store directly instead of Bell and I got nothing at all.
Google was offering 2 month of Google music with the pixel but I didn't get it because I had a Google music trial in the last year...
I wish I would've been with Bell.
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.

You sure it won't mess up your order if you don't follow through with the trade-in? I called and was told it would. You might want to check it out.

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.
I had actually ordered yesterday direct from Samsung which was giving $350 trade in for the same phone plus $70 for accessories. I just checked my Tmo app and saw this new Promo so I cancelled the Samsung order and put the order in with TMO which is giving the trade in values for purchase of a variety of the new Samsung phones. They charged $88 for taxes and upgrade fee, then give me a $125 credit when the old phone is returned and $375 in monthly bill credits. The bottom line is that I make $37 up from TMO and then have to pay $15 a month for 24 months.
You may or may not be able to use Insider code type 3 from TMO. $200 rebate.
Rakuten is showing a ("up to") 10% rebate on samsung.com.

It's only 3% for mobile. But they will match the BestBuy or others price of $100 less.. Ask for it over chat before you checkout...

Didn't work for me. Samsung chat said I had to call a phone number for price matching, then the person on the phone said they don't price match.

No way! That rep knew nothing don't give up on it.. Plus if you cancel the order it will ask on it why if you choose better price and name place where you see it cheaper they will offer discount to keep order.. We have done it on other phone orders

UPDATE: I MAY be getting the price match after all, but its not worth the drama.
A second person on chat told me they were 110% sure they were doing price matching, but you have to order first, then get the match. I went ahead and ordered and called yesterday to get the match, but they said they couldn't see it in their system yet, try later.
Called again today and was told I had to wait until the order was shipped to get the match. Spent about 20 min on the phone with them with nonsense.
After the call I decided to just cancel and buy from Amazon. Samsung's website then offered me 10% off to keep the order, so I said ok (credit applied after shipping). Theoretically I can still call when it ships and get the full price match.
Suggestions to avoid the drama:
1) buy from Samsung for $700, get 3% back from Rakuten, plus $70 instant credit on samsung.com, then cancel the order and accept the 10% rebate, OR
2) buy from Amazon for $600.

I'd rather buy from Samsung that's just me... I did the cancel thing after order on my fold 2 and got $100 back credited when they charged me for order once it shipped...if going that way you would usually get email telling you of the credit you will get at shipping... I would still chat them for the full $100 match... Don't know why they giving you such hard time... Ughhh sorry to hear it..
When I cancelled my order with Samsung it just cancelled and I was not offered any discount to continue with the purchase. Samsung was offering $350 trade in for the S9 plus $70 for accessories, which I generally find to be quite expensive at Samsung. So the $500 trade in from TMO gave me $80 more than I would have received from Samsung. Although I also like to buy direct from Samsung, I felt a little burned by them when they dropped the price of the Note 20 Ultra by $200 just three weeks after it was delivered.
When I ordered mine, Samsung told me I had to wait until it shipped. I traded in an iPhone 11 Pro, which took the phone down to $55.00 US. After it shipped I messaged them back, and they told me they couldn't refund more than I paid, so they gave me a $110.00 Samsung Credit code within about 2 hours.

SECOND UPDATE: I ended up getting both the 10% ($70) rebate for not cancelling AND the $100 price match, so yay me, I guess. So my final out the door price from Samsung was $530 USD (plus tax). That included the $70 credit at the Samsung store, which I used to buy a case and their little discount fitbit. I also got a 2% rebate from Rakuten and 1.5% from my credit card (Capitol One).
Traded in my OnePlus 6t for $500 trade in discount at T-mobile. Will pay about $9/mth for 2yrs
Once you realize that this device gets left out of their beta program, and their monthly updates. It doesn't looks as nice as it seems. October security patch was launched for all S20 devices, except the S20 FE. Beta program is the same, all S20 family devices except S20 FE. Not so appealing now.
