This tutorial explains the Amazon Trade-In Program and guides on how to trade in your Firestick, Fire TV, or other devices for Amazon credit.
Trading in your Firestick, Fire TV, or other streaming device can help you earn credit towards newer options when Amazon releases products like the all-new Fire TV Stick 4k Max.
This way, you can upgrade your Amazon devices and put your old ones to good use.
While trading in older devices for new ones seems enticing, the trade-in value may vary, with most receiving an Amazon gift card and a discount on a new device.
However, it still provides a convenient way to dispose of older devices and contribute towards purchasing a new one if you’re considering an upgrade.
What is Amazon Trade-In?
The Amazon Trade-In program lets customers trade in old devices and gadgets for Amazon credit or gift cards.
You can trade in items like streaming devices, home security systems, routers, phones, and more.
This option is particularly useful for those who frequently use media devices like the Firestick and Fire TV.
As Amazon continually updates their media players, older devices can become outdated, prompting users to consider upgrading to newer models.
With Amazon Trade-In, you can exchange your old devices for credit towards the latest Firestick, Fire TV, and other Amazon products.
Currently, Amazon accepts trade-ins for various items including Kindles, tablets, streaming devices, Echo devices, Bluetooth speakers, and more.
To engage in Amazon Trade-In, you need an active Amazon account to receive credit for your item.
