Trading in older iPhone AFTER iPhone X preorder?

[Unprocessed1]

I paid full price for an iPhone X preorder and my card has already been charged.

Once I get the new phone, would it be possible to trade in my old phone (an iPhone 7 Plus) and receive a refund (total from the trade-in amount) toward my iPhone X transaction?

I was actually wondering this too. I originally wanted to trade in my iPhone 6 Plus towards the purchase of my iPhone X, but as far as the Apple offer is concerned, it's only doled out in the form of a gift card.

I'm hoping they could simply do a quick "return" that results in chargeback of the trade-in value.

My guess is that Apple gives you a gift card that can't be used to pay for the pre-ordered X. I'm planning to trade-in my 6S+ to Verizon. They are offering me $40 more than Apple and you can use the gift card to pay future wireless bills. I did that when I got my 6+ and Verizon was offering $200 to trade-in my old iPhone 4.
