Title: Get $75 store credit when you trade in a working laptop @ BestBuy
Post by: SlammedNiss on July 05, 2017, 12:10:33 am: Don't know if anybody else has seen this, but you can trade in any working laptop for $75 store credit via a gift card plus a $75 coupon code towards the purchase of a Samsung Notebook 9 Pro. Took 2 old laptops I had lying around and got $150 in store credit today. My laptops were a Dell PP10S with an Intel Celeron running WinXp Pro and a Toshiba A205-S4577 with an AMD cpu and Win Vista, so they aren't overly picky on what you take, just as long as they boot to Windows. (although they didn't bother even powering mine on)

So if you have some old hardware lying around that you don't know what to do with, take it in and get something out of it.

Thanks for posting though.

Same here. I have an old laptop which I use exclusively to burn EPROM chips. I upgraded to an SSD and it's pretty fast for what I need it to do.

I've heard they also aren't accepting Compaq laptops either, but are accepting HP.

There are "supposed" to, but the employee I traded my 2 into didn't bother even powering them on. Probably YMMV.

had my wife with me. Each of us traded one in.

On a related note, my own personal laptop died on me last night. Can't afford to purchase a new fancy laptop, so purchased a used motherboard off eBay this afternoon.
