I traded in my iPhone 5 for 190, did the estimate on Gazelle and it was only 140, I know I could have gotten more on Craigslist but 190 hassle free was enough.
Then my iPad 3 for another 165+50, I only went for the 16G iPad air 2, I paid 150.

Traded in my iPad 3 for a Gold 64GB Air 2 at BB the other day. I also used the Mover's coupon and I ended up saving a total of $290.
The Air 2 is really great, but now I'm thinking of exchanging it for a Space Gray one (also 64GB). Would it be a simple straight exchange? In other words, would BB still factor in the previous trade-in value, the $50 coupon towards the purchase of an Air 2, and the Mover's Coupon I originally used? (Not to mention the 3X reward points coupon I used?)
I don't see why not, but ya never know......

This is going to depend on which store you go into and who you end up getting.
I went to do an exchange on Friday at a different Best Buy because the one I purchased from did not have stock any longer. Fortunately, I had all of my coupons with me from the original purchase. The BB clerk had given them all back to me when I completed my purchase, so they were in the bag when I went to exchange.
I didn't think I would need them since everything is on the receipt and therefore should be in the system, but sure enough, the rep at Customer Service had no clue on any of the coupons or the 3x points. I explained what was on the receipt to her and showed her the coupons. She then had to get a manager to do overrides on the register for both coupons. In fairness, she did try to scan everything, but they weren't being accepted again, thus the call to a manager.
Glad I had the coupons with me in that case.
Awesome!! Thanks OP for posting up.. Worked like a charm for me.
- $150 iPad trade in
- $50 iPad air 2 promo
- $78.30 10% off 'movers coupon'
i was in and out of best buy in 15 minutes with my new 128 LTE Air 2.
Heck yeah. And that is a sweet machine you got there!
On the coupon there is an "online code" underneath the really long one that's only like 8 digits. I put that into the promotional code field. I hit continue instead of putting in payment info so it gave an error because the form was not complete but the coupon was accepted and the price changed
Just to confirm, you only get the extra $50 bucks if you trade in and use it towards an Air 2, correct? Gonna take the daughters ipad 2 in today and see what we can get for it. Wasn't going to buy the Air 2 though.
Correct. You'll get the $50 voucher BUT it can only be applied if you purchase the Air 2.

Same here... I did the same thing on Friday. Very good tip OP. I had to go to 2 post offices (the first had an expired coupon) but I got that discount too.
It was pretty nice to get back the $200 I paid for my original mini at a walmart sale... only had it for 4 months so I chalk it up as a free rental. Can't believe I missed out on retina display all this time... LOL
I see! Mine doesn't have that 8 digit online code and clearly states NOT VALID AT BESTBUY.COM. Apparently there are multiple versions of this coupon. Mine ONLY has the very long code below the barcode. I have to go to another post office to see if they have different ones. Thanks for the detailed reply!
Cant use mover coupon in my local , try around few more store but cant use that too . They said this coupon cant use together with gift card from trade in .
Dammmmmnnnnn
Dammmmmnnnnn
You have to fight with them, most people don't even know what that coupon is, just try whatever you can to get them to scan it because it WILL work
good luck, the coupon says it's not good for Apple products, but it seems like a lot have gotten it to work.
For exclusions it says: Apple branded accessories. It also says mobile broadband devices.

It doesn't say anything about this on the coupon, but does say see the above link for exclusions.
It does seem like individual stores can accept or not whatever they choose. Some deduct the 10% before the trade coupons, some after, and some won't take it at all.
Thanks--exactly what I needed to know. Looks like I might be SOL since they didn't give me back any of my coupons. I'll give it a try anyway.
Or, you can enjoy the color you originally bought.
Is the look of the back make a difference?
These are short supply. Just be happy is my advice.
No 64gb grey available in the bay area or central valley. The $50 voucher don't expire till the14th so hopefully they'll get some more by then.
It's not the back, but the bezel on the front. The white looks fine, but now I'm thinking that black might be preferable. If no Space Grays appear at any of my local BBs within the next few days, I'll happily stick with my Gold one.
I ordered mine on line and then took it back to Best Buy with my iPad2 and the mover coupon. They did a refund on the new one I had delivered to my house and then did the iPad2 trade in on the one they just refunded and credited the 10% mover coupon. So I got $260 off the iPad2 Air on the 64gb $599 version.

Nice. I was going to do that too but it's not even available to ship!
Does this deal expire? I was ready to pull the trigger today and take my iPad 4 in, but a check of ipad availability at Best Buy seems to indicate they are not selling space grey models at all. I've always been a black bezel man when it comes to iPads because I watch movies on it and the thought of a white frame around a movie seems odd... But Best Buy won't even let you order one online. So I guess what I'm asking is do I have the luxury of waiting a couple weeks or is this deal only for a limited time?
