Well, I just called up my local Best Buy. They're giving the same $125 trade in for my mother's iPhone 4 as they are for my iPhone 4S. So, my mother is completely on board with copping my 4S with iOS 8 and me trading in her old 4. So, with that $125 Instant trade-in best buy gift card, we can also add in the $50 instant gift card from the Best Buy upgrade promotion I signed up for in February. Then, add two personal gift cards from me ($30 from $50 gift card i got when Wells Fargo messed up my account and an incoming $100 gift card from Wells Fargo Credit Card rewards.) That comes to a grand total for an iPhone 6 64GB Silver/White AT&T for $53.92 with California tax.
I must say, I can't complain about that. I get my iPhone 6 I've coveted since the announcement and my mother gets an updated phone for free and get to keep her upgrade (I just replaced the broken backplate and dropped a new battery in it, and it got close to 8.5 hours of use yesterday, so she'll be good at work at the desk and her classroom. Also giving her one of my battery packs so she'll be good to go!).
If you guys can utilize the trade in from the stores, carriers or online websites and can get rewards from credit cards and the like, use it to your advantage, guys!
