Others stated that they had not received an email from Google, while some said they had been told to make a separate order for the Pixel Buds and Google would reimburse them for the purchase. It seems as though Google is figuring out how best to address the issue, as lines of communication with buyers may not have been clear. However, kudos to Google for doing this in the first place.
Google has since stated on its Google Store Help page that anyone who forgot to add the Pixel Buds at checkout should in fact wait for further instructions in an email on how to redeem. For those that went ahead and purchased a pair of earbuds, they will be left waiting on a reimbursement.
