Trading in phone for purchase of new phone

[Leslie Hatcher]

So I went into a corporate store to trade in my s6 towards a new phone. When I traded in my Sony z3v in January for a new phone, the store rep immediately applied my trade in value toward the purchase of my new phone. So I only paid the difference between the 2. When I went in last weekend to do this, they told me that the stores can't do this anymore and I would have to buy the phone at full price, then get my gift card later? Huh?

Doesn't surprise me.

You can get more for your phone selling it at swappa.com.

Don't trade your s6 information a gift card, they'll give you beans for it. Try an alternative route like swappa, I've sold my phones there for a year now and it's great. Then use the money toward the one you want.

Don't tell them anything, just come in and trade in the phone then they will give you the gift card. At least they did it a while back. Once you get the gc, use that to pay for the new phone

I was trading it in for an G4. They were going to give me $385 for it. I was fine with that. When the sales person told me they would send me a giftcard, I said no thanks. I would use Swappa but I don't like the idea of PayPal payments.

When I did it, it took a few minutes to get the gift card, but that was late last year
