The Amazon Trade-In Store is giving out gift cards in exchange for your old Amazon devices!

Trade in your old Amazon devices to save money on your next upgrade!

The Fall Prime Early Access Sale is happening on October 11th & 12th and similar to Amazon Prime Day, members can score major deals on Amazon devices like tablets, wireless routers, home security devices, Kindles, and more!

For an easy way to save even more on these Amazon devices, consider trading in your old Amazon devices to the Amazon Trade-In Program. Once received and accepted, you’ll get a gift card credit applied to your Amazon account. Plus, you’ll also receive up to 25% off your next Amazon device! Use the coupon and your credit towards any of Amazon’s products or current device deals!

With several NEW Amazon devices set to release over the next couple of months including the Echo Dot Kids 5th Gen, Echo Dot 5th Gen w/ Clock, Kindle Scribe and more, we can probably expect to see some price drops on older models that you can pair with the 25% off coupon for some HOT buys!

How do you submit a device to the Amazon Trade In Program?

Amazon Trade In Store - Amazon Devices

You can trade in a device at any time of the year and the process is super simple. To get started, visit Amazon’s Trade-in Program page and select the appropriate category for the device you wish to submit. Popular categories include “Kindle,” “Tablets,” and “Home Security Devices.”  Search for your product to see if it’s eligible for trade-in and how much you might receive for sending it in.

Amazon will ask you a few questions about the current state of the product. The company accepts items in various conditions so it is best to answer honestly. Finish the questionnaire, review the adjusted estimate price, and click submit. Amazon will send a FREE shipping label to your email. Simply print and send in your item within 45 days.

Amazon will appraise the item within 10 days of receipt and update your account with a gift card credit for the appraisal amount. Then, you can use the gift card AND the discount to purchase any of Amazon’s thousands of products. It’s that easy!

Happy shopping! 🛍

    These are actually being done instantly, at least for some, I did one today with a Fire HDX 7 and recieved mine immediately, I was able to snag the Fire plus 10.1 2021, without ads, 64g at a very little over a hundred (I know it might be different for others though, so please don’t quote me on that price).

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with your trade-in! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’•

    Does the 25% off work in addition to a sale price, like during prime days? Or is it 25% of the retail?

    • crystal-5

      Mine worked on the sale price, but it may be different for some.

    • Stacy F (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      It absolutely does!

    For me, it was 20% off with trade-in. The 20% was calculated based on retail price and not sale price so, with the trade-in, I paid $13 for the amazon fire retailing for $90. Really good deal, especially since my old cracked tablet was just collecting dust.

    • Leah

      Same here – 20%, not 25%, but off retail, not sale, price, so it was a great deal!

    • Jackie

      I have 2 tablets with shattered screens. Will they take those?

      • LtA

        Mine has a shattered screen but works perfectly. I got $15 instantly. I have to mail it or drop it off. You should try.

    Do they want us to send charger or any accessories came with it?

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hey there! Great question. I did speak with customer service on this for you. They let me know that you do not need to send accessories. You can always double check with customer service, on your specific device to be certain. Hoping this is helpful! ๐Ÿ’•

  5. Peaches

    I guess the trade-in program doesnt include smart plugs. I switched to wifi bulbs and have a ton of smartplugs gathering dust now.

    • Claudette (Hip Sidekick)

      So sorry Peaches!! Hoping they will include those soon!!๐Ÿฅฐ
