Google Ends Pixel Referral Program With Up to $500 Credit on July 31, 2026

July 31, 2026 is the deadline Google set for its current Pixel referral program, which lets Pixel owners earn as much as $500 in Google Store credit.
Each successful referral gives the buyer 10% off a new Pixel phone and pays the referrer $50 in store credit, with earnings capped after 10 referrals.
Google sent Pixel owners a reminder about the cutoff and directs them to the Google Store referral page, where codes can be emailed or copied for sharing.
The program has typically accompanied Pixel phone launches, and its expiration suggests Google may replace it around the expected Pixel 11 release.
Why is Google really ending its popular Pixel referral program just two months from now?
Will the Pixel 11's rumored 'Pixel Glow' feature be part of a new, gamified referral system?
