PSA to those thinking about upgrading. Best Buy offers a $300 trade in on M1 MBA no questions asked

I just upgraded to a M4 MBA. The best price was from the Navy exchange.

Rather than selling my base model M1 on marketplace I just took it down to Best Buy with the charger, and the handed me a $300 gift card.

They currently have $150 off of the M4 MBA, so you could go through them and get a M4 for only $550 + tax out of pocket of you have a M1 MBA.

Great deal IMHO.

That is a great deal. My wife did similar with her m2 MBA (she wanted 16/512 instead of 8/256) and came out really happy with her M4 MBA.

The Navy exchange was offering $250 off of all MBA this past weekend so I got the 16/512 in silver for $950 no tax.

Boy math for me is $650 out of pocket for the upgrade considering the Best Buy GC as cash.

I only paid $700 for the M1 years ago so I am very happy. The 8GB of ram really started becoming an issue lately, time will tell if I regret not going for 24GB.

How does the "no questions asked" part work? I would assume they wouldn't accept one that wasn't working.

FWIW, I went to their website and you have to work through several questions about conditions before giving you a quote. Perhaps in-store is different?

I'm asking because I have a 15" M2 MBA that has some significant dents around the edges from falls (arrrggghhh!!!), and additionally the screen has some slight haze in a bottom corner from those. Computer works just fine (great!), but I had simply resigned myself that it was un-tradable/sellable. But, if I could get a decent amount for it, I might consider a new one.
