Just an update! Went to my Apple Store earlier this afternoon, and 20 minutes later I walked out with enough $ on gift cards to cover the cost of a 16 Pro Max plus tax! (Assuming the price doesn’t go up this year lol) thank you everyone for the advice!sorry to bump this but I thought I would ask here instead of starting a new thread. I have 2 phones and 1 iPad to trade in for gift card credit. Can I bring them into a store, get the gift cards and leave and use them later? Or do they only do trade ins when you are going to use the credit towards something else in the same trip? Thanks in advance!
