Google opens Pixel Care+ enrollment for Pixel 9 and 10 until August 2

Google is allowing current Pixel 9 and 10 users to enroll in Pixel Care+ past the usual 60-day window — but only until August 2.

The essentials
  • Pixel 9 and 10 owners in the US, UK, and Japan can now enroll in Pixel Care+ even if it’s been more than two months since their purchase.
  • The limited-time offer excludes the Pixel 9 and 10 Pro Fold models and requires the device to be free of existing damage.
  • Pixel Care+ covers unlimited accidental damage, broken screens, and post-warranty issues like swollen batteries and mechanical failures.
  • Costs vary by model — the Pixel 10 Pro, for example, costs $13 a month or $239 for two years.

A temporary window for Pixel protection

Starting today, users of Pixel 9 and 10 devices in the US, UK, and Japan can join Google’s Pixel Care+ past the typical 60-day deadline. This open window ends on August 2 and marks the first time the company has allowed late enrollment for existing customers.

What it includes — and what it doesn’t

Pricing depends on the device and payment terms. For example, the Pixel 10 Pro costs $13 monthly or $239 for two years. Care+ covers drops, spills, and cracked screens. Repairs like charging port issues or weak batteries are free. Replacement devices often ship the next business day if available.

But eligibility is strict. Devices must show no signs of previous damage — broken screens, moisture, or swollen batteries rule out enrollment. The fold models are not included, and those already in a Google device protection plan can’t enroll again.

A strategic move for future growth

This offer could target users who regret not signing up when they first bought their Pixel devices. It may also test if extending enrollment periods helps boost long-term adoption. Regardless, the opportunity ends on August 2 and only covers a limited set of models.

Between the lines

By letting users enroll in Care+ after the usual 60-day period, Google may be trying to reduce customer regret — but it also risks losing control over which devices enter its repair pipeline, potentially increasing costs in the long run.
