How can I receive a special Project Fi discount for the Nexus 5X? For a limited time, Project Fi is offering a discount of $150 off our normal price for the Nexus 5X, with activation required. If you purchase a Nexus 5X from fi.google.com, the discounted price will automatically apply during checkout. You must then activate Fi service on the same account within 30 days of device shipment, or an additional $150 will be charged to your Google Payments account to match the full price of the device.
In addition, if you purchase a Nexus 5X from the Google Store while this offer is valid, and then activate Fi service using the same Google Account used to purchase the device, then you will automatically receive a partial refund to the form of payment used to purchase. The partial refund amount will match the difference between the amount you paid for the Nexus 5X and the Fi promotional price. You do not need to contact Project Fi or Google Store customer support to receive the partial refund, as it will be automatically applied within two weeks of activating Fi service. This offer is valid from March 7, 2016, to April 7, 2016, while supplies last for U.S. residents ages 18 and older with a Google Payments account. There is a limit of 1 discounted Nexus 5X per customer, and terms are subject to applicable laws. The offer is void where prohibited.
