Best Buy offering $200 for iPhone 4S, $100 for iPhone 4 towards purchase of iPhone 5

Best Buy has launched a new “trade-in to trade-up to iPhone 5″ offer today.

9to5Mac reports that the new trade-in program is available from today through Sunday.


The iPhone trade-in programs have been very successful for Best Buy so it doesn’t come as a surprise.

Best Buy is offering a minimum of $200 gift card for an iPhone 4S and a minimum of $100 gift card for an iPhone 4 in working condition. The Best Buy gift cards can be used to buy an iPhone 5 with a two-year contract.

The offer is applicable only on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint iPhones (not T-Mobile) and will be exclusively available in Best Buy stores.

Trade-in offer FAQ:

My iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S has a cracked screen, can I still trade it for an iPhone 5?

Devices with cracked screens are not eligible for this promotion but we would be happy to recycle your phone for free.

My iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S has water damage, can I still trade it in for an iPhone 5?

Water-damaged devices are not eligible for this promotion but we would be happy to recycle your phone for free.

I would like to trade in a non-iPhone smartphone for the iPhone 5, can I?

You can check the value of your smartphone on our trade-in site and trade in your device at a Best Buy store and use that gift card toward an iPhone 5.

What will be the trade-in value of my phone?

We have to see it in store before determining the value. You can get an estimate online.

Best Buy offers a hassle-free experience, but with a little more effort, you might be able to get more cash for your iPhone, and can probably use it to buy iPhone 5S which is expected to be released in the next few weeks.
