Today’s quick tech tip….
Did you know you can trade in your used gear at Amazon?
When you acquire a new gadget do you just place your old one in a drawer and forget about it?
If so, you might want to check into Amazon’s Trade-In Program.
Amazon will accept qualifying items as trade-ins and give you gift card and a discount on your new purchase.
The types of items they accept as trade-ins are limited, but chances are you have one or more devices that actually qualify.
Want to find out? Visit Amazon’s Trade-In page for all the pertinent details.
