How to trade in Echo devices for Amazon gift cards
1. Visit the Echo Upgrade Program trade-in website.
2. Select the device you want to trade in under the Amazon Echo devices section of the page. Trade in-eligible devices include first- and second-generation Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Plus and Echo Show. The Amazon Echo (3rd Gen,) Echo Spot, Echo Tap, Echo Show 5 (1st Gen), Echo Show 8 (1st Gen) and Echo Buds are also included.
3. Confirm the condition of your Echo device. Select whether the device powers on and works properly, and whether there is physical damage.
4. Select ‘Review your trade in value’. If you answered ‘No’ to the first question or ‘Yes’ to the second question, your trade in value will be $5 or $10. If you answered ‘Yes’ to the first question and ‘No’ to the second question, you’ll see the maximum trade in value for your device. We found you can get up to $35 per device.
5. Review your trade in settings and return address. You’ll also see the deadline by which you need to return your devices in order to receive the trade in credit.
6. Select ‘Submit Trade-In’.
7. Print your trade-in shipping label. The label is prepaid, so all you’ll need is to box your devices up and send them back to Amazon. The credit will remain available on your account unless Amazon discovers a problem with your trade in device.
8. Shop for new speakers and headphones. With your credit, you can now shop the speakers and headphones on this page. We particularly like the JBL Flip 4, Apple AirPods Pro and Sony WH-1000XM4. Keep in mind you'll get an additional 25% off latest-generation Echo devices with your credit, too.
