Google just held a big event in New York City, finally revealing the highly anticipated fourth iteration of its successful flagship smartphone. The Google Pixel 4 and its larger sibling, the Pixel 4 XL, are slated for release later this month and are now up for pre-order from Best Buy and Amazon with added bonuses. Amazon is one such outlet that already has a deal on these, offering you a free $100 gift card when you order a new Pixel 4 or 4 XL.

The Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL will start shipping near the end of the month, and they’re now available for pre-order from major online retailers. There are already some nice pre-order deals floating around, and this one is arguably the best choice for dedicated Amazon shoppers: Order the Google Pixel 4 or Pixel 4 XL now and you’ll get a free $100 Amazon gift card (which even comes in the form a handy bookmark as a nod to Amazon’s bookish roots). Note that this promotion will likely expire when the Pixel 4 starts shipping from Amazon on Monday, October 21, so jump on it quickly.
