Costco will give you free groceries in exchange for your old electronics — here’s how to give it a try
The Costco Trade-In program accepts a variety of electronics.
How does the Costco Trade-In program work?
The Costco Trade-In program accepts a variety of electronics, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and gaming systems. To participate, you can visit the program’s website (powered by phobio) and select the device you wish to trade in.The website will then provide a quote based on the condition of the device and its current market value. If you accept the offer, you can print a free shipping label and send the device to Costco for evaluation. Once the device is received and inspected, Costco will issue a Costco Card — either digitally or there’s an option for a physical card to be mailed — for the agreed-upon value.
Not all items are eligible for the trade-in program. For example, Costco does not accept damaged or non-working items. Additionally, some products may have specific trade-in requirements, such as a certain minimum storage capacity or device type. Check the site for your exact item and model number to be sure it’s acceptable.
