Old Gadgets Pay Off: Costco’s Trade-In Lets You Earn Costco Credit
Costco is offering a Phobio-powered Trade-In Program that accepts phones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches, desktops, and media players for an instant quote; after printing a prepaid shipping label and sending in your device, you’ll receive a Digital Costco Shop Card within 9–15 business days if the device passes review, with laptops potentially earning up to $2,550. The program aims to reduce e-waste and recover value from old gear, and similar programs exist at Target and GameStop.
