Frequently asked questions

  • The Microsoft Store Trade-in Program powered by Teladvance 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. Teladvance provides an appraisal that they believe reflects a fair estimate of your device’s 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 Teladvance account. Then, print the prepaid shipping label and ship your used device to Teladvance. Just be sure to pack your device carefully to ensure safe, damage-free transit. Once your used device is received, inspected, and approved, Teladvance will issue a cash payment to you within 14 days.

    If your used device isn’t eligible for trade-in, you can still recycle it through Microsoft’s recycling resources in your region. Recycled devices are not eligible for cash back.

  • Teladvance is a U.S.-based company that specializes in consumer electronic trade-ins, IT asset disposition, and reverse logistics. It runs the Microsoft Store Trade-in Program.
  • Once your used device is received, inspected, and approved, Teladvance will issue a cash payment via your choice of PayPal or bank transfer within 14 days.
  • 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 trading in an eligible 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:

    1. Sign in to your Microsoft account.
    2. Go to Order history.
    3. Locate the order of your new device.
    4. Select Details to view and save the order details as a PDF—this is your proof of purchase.
    5. Go to the Teladvance 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.
