- $400, which is incredibly important because without it Project Fi would be a network with only flagship-priced phones available
- Trading in a Nexus 5X or 6P by October 5th would get you $50 Fi credit, on top of the normal trade-in value
- If you have a Nexus 5X, this is a great deal because your 5X could die at any moment
