The scheme is accepting many Fire tablet models, Echo speakers, Kindle e-readers and Fire TV streaming sticks and asks just two questions about their condition before giving you a provisional offer.
If you’re happy with it, you can choose whether you want to accept the ‘adjusted value’ if the condition isn’t what you said it was, or to have the device shipped back to you for free.
For example, if you trade in your old Fire 6 tablet, you’ll get a £10 Gift Card, plus a 20% discount off any new Fire tablet. It’s a 25% discount for Echo devices.
On ebay, though, a good-condition Spot goes for around £40-50, so although a little more hassle, even accounting for ebay and PayPal fees, you’ll still get more selling it that way, and actual cash rather than a Gift Card.
