Best Buy Mobile Specialty Stores – Easy Trade-Ins!

by Carrie with Children with 16 comments

I realized a few months ago that I was eligible for an upgrade of my iPhone 4S to the iPhone5, but I had been dreading it. I figured it would be a hassle and a lot of work….but my thoughts all changed when I learned about the Best Buy Mobile Trade In program.

Best Buy Mobile Store

At Best Buy Mobile specialty stores, you can trade in your old phone and get up to $200 back in the form of a Best Buy gift card. How did I not know about this great program?  I couldn’t wait to visit my local store at the mall.

I arrived at the store with both girls in tow, ready with their snack cups, drinks, games, books – whatever it took to keep them occupied as I figured we’d be there forever.  Wrong!  It was such an easy process that I wished I had done it sooner!

Stefan, the Best Buy Mobile associate was fantastic – The phone I traded in had never been used without a case, so it was in near perfect condition – I ended up getting $150 Best Buy gift card for it.  I put that money toward the iPhone5 and renewed my contract with AT&T – making it FREE!  Can’t beat that deal!  Stefan helped me pick out a new case and even put it on my new phone for me.

I was in and out of the store within about 20 minutes with my new, fancy iPhone 5 up and running! Stefan even transferred over all my data to the new phone – as part of their complimentary Walk Out Working™ program. Above and beyond customer service.

    I’m sorry – you could upgrade your iPhone and didn’t? For a few months?

    We need to schedule a Facetime call. I can’t comprehend that.

    Anyway… I am eligible for an upgrade this Friday and I am counting down the days. I was just looking this morning and thinking about going to Best Buy instead of the Verizon store – thanks for the convincing!

    And I’m available to Facetime anytime… 😉

      Ha! You read that correctly – I put off my upgrade! 🙂 Now, I’m wishing I hadn’t… promise! I think you should try out Best Buy Mobile store – great stuff there

  • Amy @ Oh So Savvy Mom


    This is awesome! But there are no stores even close to me. 🙁 Now I’m crying. Maybe I’ll have to do my upgrade when I’m in TX visiting family.

    • Carrie with Children


      Well boo! 🙁 You should definitely check it out when you go to Texas – it’s a money saver!
