French users urged to report Google as promo AI Pro subs lose Gemini 4 Argon access
Dazzling_Drummer_531 · reddit · 2026-10-22
Multiple users who obtained Google AI Pro through promotions (Pixel bundles, student passes, partner trials) report being unable to access Gemini 4 Argon inside Antigravity, with their accounts flagged as not active "paid users"—despite terms stating promotional periods grant identical tier benefits.
The poster argues this violates French consumer law (Code de la consommation) and EU rules as a deceptive commercial practice, and outlines steps: screenshot the locked interface alongside the active subscription, then file via France's SignalConso platform, which forces a documented Google response and escalates systemic tier restrictions to regulators. Users in other EU states can file locally.
