Trade In Old Electronics for Costco Credit With Phobio

Costco’s Phobio-backed trade-in program lets you swap old electronics (phones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches, desktops, media players) for up to $2,550 in Costco shop card credit, with no membership required. You get an online quote by selecting make/model and device condition, can print a shipping label or request a box, wipe your data (Phobio will also delete it), and after a 3–5 business day inspection you receive payment on a Costco shop card usable in-store or online. Devices from multiple brands—Apple, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft, and others—are accepted, though large appliances aren’t eligible. The initiative promotes repurposing electronics to support safer mineral sourcing and reduce mining demand, while boosting your savings at Costco.

"Vanilla Gift" card issuer sued over card-draining scam risk

Gift card issuer Incom, known for its "Vanilla Gift" and "One Vanilla" non-reloadable cards, is facing a lawsuit alleging that the company failed to address security vulnerabilities in its packaging, making the cards susceptible to scams such as card draining. The lawsuit claims that the packaging allows easy access to the card, enabling thieves to record the barcode and PIN information and make unauthorized transactions. The complaint also accuses Incom of not reimbursing victims or providing refunds when funds were stolen. Consumers are advised to carefully examine gift card packaging for any damage and ensure the scratch-off covering the PIN number is intact to protect against scams.
