Microsoft offers up to $650 discount for Galaxy Note10 or Note10+ with trade-in

Microsoft is selling the Samsung Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ through its online store and here’s the interesting bit – as part of its recycling program, Microsoft can give you up to $650 of store credit towards buying a new Note10. The deal ends on September 22.

Check out the table below for details on how much you can get for various devices. The fine print is important here – you need a working device, no cracks on the screen and all the original accessories. Another downside of this deal is that it’s available only in-store – Microsoft.com will point you to the nearest store.

In the table you’ll find some good deals (e.g. it’s hard to get $450 for a Pixel 2 XL on eBay) and some bad deals (a working OnePlus 6T is worth more than $100).

There’s even some opportunity for arbitrage – Google will sell you a brand new Pixel 3 XL for $600, Microsoft will give you $650 for it (in store credit when buying a Galaxy Note10 or Note10+). Just a month ago, the Pixel 3 XL fell down to $500, so that’s something you may want to keep an eye on (Google has been changing the price about once a month and the Pixel 4 is close to being announced).

Note: the prices in the table are given in USD, but the deal is available in Canada, the UK and Australia. You can visit the local Microsoft.com sub-sites, but they don’t show a detailed table so you may have to head into a store and ask.
