If you were on the Google one 2tb or above plan when you ordered then you get 10% store credit back

Yep, I upgraded to the 2tb which doesn't get charged until Jan (so I'll cancel a day before lol)

You can get the Pixel 6 for £505 on Currys Mobile + free google Nest Hub. Black friday deal. Not a bad offer if anyone is still looking for one.

Ordered phone on 27th (last day)
Requested headphones 9th Nov (instant approval)

Not sim free though? Can't find this deal.

It's essentially a 30 day ID £6 sim and cancel after the first month and move to whichever provider you wish. £499 for the phone + £6 sim for one month.

Would the phone need unlocking do you know?

They are unlocked

Also from 21 Dec onwards all UK network providers must provide unlocked phones, so you'll never have to worry about it again.

More of those Vodafone maybe, maybe not in-store deals popped up on HUKD, £369 and £605 for Pixel 6 and Pro respectively.

I'd pay 369 for one in a heartbeat. Maybe will have to drop into a voda store.

It'll be easier to get a price match from Currys

Might try that then, cheers.

£369 seems a little too good to be true though..

Anyone managed to spend their store credit yet? Trying to buy a Fitbit for the little ones Christmas and I just get an unexpected error has occurred message when trying to pay, strangely if I add something extra to spend over the amount of credit I've got then it goes through to try and charge my card but does so for the full amount ignoring my credit.

It's a nice little extra...if I could actually spend it.

My claim was approved on the 11th but ive still not got a dispatch notification

Yours will probably be early next week. I had mine approved on the 9th and they're being delivered today - only had the shipment confirmation last night.

Looking at the HUKD post, there seems to be a lot of difficulty getting one at £369 - folk have popped into store, to be advised it is for existing customers only, and you will need to purchase a new airtime plan. I kept my S9+ going for an extra year with Vodafone, on an £8 SIM only deal - so I'm just on [hold] the phone to them now, just to see if I can get the Pixel 6 at £369 with another £8 SIM only....

Sounds like a standard HUKD. Amazing price, but only a handful of people able to get it at that price.

Pretty much - I hardly use it these days, tbh, but there do seem a fair amount of these vapour deals at times. Used to be quite a decent app 3-4 years ago, but a tab meh these days imo.

Edit: almost 30 minutes on hold to Vodafone! Their online chat also seems to be getting hammered too, as I can't get it to load.

Sounds like luck of the draw on the staff in your store.
