  "account": "Google is preparing to send out $150 discount codes ahead of the Pixel 11 pre-orders, as the company's Pixel 11 launch event draws nearer. The email sent by the Google Store to interested buyers is urging them to confirm if they are \"ready for tomorrow,\" promising a discount code for $150 off their new device. The discount codes are currently available only in the United States and must be redeemed at the Google Store or through the My Pixel app, before the deadline of August 27. It's important to note that these promotional codes have an expiration date and are limited to a single use per customer. Furthermore, these codes are applicable for unlocked or Google Fi devices only, and cannot be combined with other promo codes. While trade-in values can be used alongside these discount codes, the maximum value seems to differ from one account to another, ranging from $100 to $250.",
  "summary": "With less than 24 hours to go until the company’s Pixel 11 launch event, Google is sending $150 discount codes to customers looking to pre-order the new devices.",
