  • Google’s Gemini Advanced promo for the Pixel 9 Pro is not available to some existing Google One subscribers.
  • Google One members billed through third-party providers, family plan members, and those on a 5TB or above plan can’t redeem the offer.
  • In the case of family plan members, Google will let you activate the offer if you leave your family group.

Google introduced a ton of new Gemini features with the Pixel 9 series, including the chatbot’s much-awaited conversational mode. However, some of these features are locked behind a Gemini Advanced subscription. While Google is offering a free one-year subscription to those who buy the new Pixel 9 Pro models, you might not be able to redeem it.

The Gemini Advanced promo gives Pixel 9 Pro buyers a one-year free trial of the Google One AI Premium plan, which includes Gemini Advanced, Gemini in Google services like Gmail and Docs, 2TB of cloud storage, and other Google One Premium plan benefits. It is available to all those who purchase the Pixel 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, or 9 Pro Fold, but there’s a catch. A user report on Reddit has brought to light fine print indicating that Google won’t extend the offer to some existing Google One subscribers, including those who are part of a family plan.
