Google Financing for Pixel 2 XL - $200 back
Hi there,
Currently Google is offering $200 back to those who get approved for Google Financing. I nowk this is essentially a credit card, and will be a hard pull, but what I'm not sure if is whether this affects 5/24 status. Someone elsewhere indicated it would, and another person said I could get past it by calling recon and feeling them it was a store card. Can anyone tell me which it is?
Also, how detrimental would it be to buy the phone with the financing, pay the phone off within 24 months and then cancel it?
Thanks!

You can cancel it after 24 months if you want but most likely there will be a google pixel 4 when you finish paying it and you can use the same card to finance it for 0% interest.
