Best Buy is currently offering up to a $450 gift card with trade-in of a working MacBook. For comparison, its previous offer topped out at $250. There are a few details in regards to the definition of “working” which you can find below. You can use the on-page calculator tool to estimate your trade-in. Best Buy gift cards can be used on just about anything in-store or online.
So let’s put this into perspective. Apple products are notorious for holding value for much longer than most electronics, so today’s offer from Best Buy may not be the way to go depending on a few factors. Selling your MacBook on eBay or through a service like Gazelle might bring bigger returns. However, if you’re looking to upgrade to a new Mac at Best Buy, opting for this in-store credit is certainly worth considering if you don’t want to go through the trouble of selling via a third-party.
