How to trade in a device
Convert your old devices into cash with our trade-in program.
Please choose your account type to learn how the program works.
The Microsoft Store Trade-in Program is powered by Teladvance (US) and Recommerce™ (EU), companies that specializes in electronics reuse and recycling. You get cash back and your used device gets a new home or is recycled in a responsible way.
Trade-in program information for Canada and the USA.
The Microsoft Online Personal Trade-in Program allows you to trade in your used laptop, tablet, phone, or game console and get cash back via our trade-in partner Teladvance. The trade-in process typically takes around 14 to 15 days.
Here is a step-by-step outline for how to trade in a device via this program:
-
Check the eligibility of your used device.
Important: Ensure your device meets the criteria: it must power on, the battery must hold a charge, it must be fully functional without broken or missing components, and it must not have a cracked display or screen, liquid damage, modifications, or a broken warranty seal.
-
Go to Get trade-in value, which will take you to the Teladvance partner site.
-
Select the type, brand name and model of your device.
-
Provide the information about your device for appraisal purposes.
Important: You must answer all questions to obtain an appraisal. Questions include: whether the device is working or not working; if your device is unlocked; is a power adapter included; chosen trade-in method; and any other information.
-
Once all questions are answered, select Calculate Value to display your device trade-in value.
-
If your device is eligible, you can create a Teladvance account.
-
Print the prepaid shipping label provided by Teladvance, then pack and ship your device.
Important: Pack your device securely, including its original chargers, accessories, and hard drive, and make sure you ship your device to Teladvance within 15 days of your trade-in approval.
-
On receipt of your device, Teladvance will inspect it to ensure it meets the trade-in criteria, and if approved, you will receive payment via PayPal or bank transfer within 14 days.
Note: If your device does not meet the trade-in criteria, Teladvance will either recycle it or return it to you for free.

FAQs
The Microsoft Store Trade-in Program powered by Teladvance (US) and Recommerce™ (EU) lets you trade in an eligible used device for cash payment. Just answer a few questions about the brand, model, and condition of your used device. The partners provide an appraisal that reflects a fair estimate of your device’s condition and value. Additional trade-in promotions that we may offer from time to time may require the purchase of a new qualifying device from Microsoft Store prior to trade-in. For these promotions, you’ll be asked to upload a proof-of-purchase PDF.
If you approve of the trade-in value, create a partner account. Then, print the prepaid shipping label and ship your used device to our partner in your region. Once your used device is received, inspected, and approved, our partner will issue a cash payment to you within 30 days.
If your used device isn’t eligible for trade-in, you can still recycle it through Microsoft’s recycling resources in your region.

Promotions are limited-time offers that apply only to select devices purchased online at Microsoft Store. To participate, you must purchase a qualifying device first and then proceed with the trade-in process of an eligible used device.
There are some extra steps to participate in trade-in promotions. During the trade-in process for your used device, you’ll need to answer questions about your new device. If your new device qualifies for a trade-in promotion, you’ll be asked to upload a proof of purchase.
Your proof of purchase is a PDF version of your order details from Microsoft Store. Once you’ve received a notification that your new device has shipped, follow these steps:
-
Sign in to your Microsoft account.
-
Go to Order history.
-
Locate the order of your new device.
-
Select Details to view and save the order details as a PDF—this is your proof of purchase.
-
Go to the Teladvance trade-in page or the Recommerce™ trade-in page to upload your proof of purchase and get a trade-in value.
For more help, see the proof-of-purchase steps.
You can trade in one eligible used device for each qualifying new device you purchase at Microsoft Store. For example, if you purchase three qualifying new devices from Microsoft Store, you can trade in up to three eligible used devices.
For pre-orders, wait to start the trade-in process until your payment method is charged and the new device has shipped. If the trade-in requires you to submit the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number of the new device, you’ll need to wait until you receive the new device. See Microsoft Support pages for help with pre-orders.
