I haven't gotten one, and I have no confirmation or anything that I will be getting one. I'm going to wait a few more weeks and ask Verizon. I'm sure they will tell me I don't get one because I bought my Pixel 2 on a business account, but again, I didn't see any stipulations on who does and does not get one posted anywhere.

Google Store said that after four weeks they'll send you a voucher to order it. I assume Verizon's are the same or similar.

Re: Anybody get their Free Google Home Mini Yet?

I got an email saying I'll get a voucher but I haven't gotten it yet. Honestly I wasn't that excited about it until I got my Pixel. I use Google Assistant several times a day now. can't wait to get the home mini!

I got the email as soon as I ordered saying I would receive my code 4 weeks after shipping, but haven't received my code yet. I'm pretty sure it's been 4 weeks since launch, if not it's very close.

Phones didn't start shipping until mid October. Have another week or so to go before it'll be 4 weeks for the first orders that shipped out.

Verizon was supposed to ship out actual Google Home Minis to those who pre-ordered 2-4 weeks after they activated their phone. I had an issue with mine and had to return it, but there was a glitch that wouldn't allow them to do an advance replacement on my line, so they had to cancel the one on my line and out the replacement on a different line with an upgrade. Unfortunately as we found afterward it killed my free Mini offer. The CSR sent one out and credited my account for the cost.

Re: Anybody get their Free Google Home Mini Yet?

From the email I received 2 days after submitting my order:

Mine was shipped out on 10/17, which I think was likely about the earliest any were shipped to have them arrive on launch day (feel free to correct me if i'm wrong). So for purpose of orders through Play Store, at least, 4 weeks from that shipping date would mean the earliest anyone would have reason to contact Google for it being late would be for not having received the code by email as of 11/14.

Got Mini Promo

One click ordering with the included link. - Easy Peasy, Had choice of charcoal, black, or coral red. chose coral red for kicks. Says it ships tomorrow, 11/8 with delivery 11/9 or 11/10. Google finally did it right?

Pixel 2 Shipped on Oct 17th and received it on Oct 20th

Re: Got Mini Promo

Mine came as well ordered Coral, hope it doesn't stick out too much. I could always hide it the way my echo's and dots are hidden...

Re: Got Mini Promo

Now I just have to figure out where to put it. I already have an Alexa echo in my bedroom, and Alexa echo in the living room, and the Tap in my garage that I carry around the yard doing housework.

Yeah that is my problem too, I use my Amazon units for everything...I have run out of rooms where I would use it. Assuming it sounds way better than a New version Dot (and really what doesn't?) I'll use it in garage.
