I was about to pre-order the Pixel 11 Pro, but after seeing random €150-€250 promo codes being handed out to some people while others got nothing, I decided to wait.

The issue isn't that others got a discount. Good for them. The issue is that customers interested in buying the exact same device are being offered wildly different prices for no clear reason.

Instead of creating hype, this left me feeling like I'd be overpaying if I ordered now.

So Google didn't lose a sale to Apple or Samsung. They simply lost a sale because their promotion felt unfair.
