How is iPad trade-in credit applied to Apple Card?
I traded in an Apple iPad and was told its value was $460 and was advised the payment method would be my Apple Card. Do they credit my credit card or how does that work?

- If I buy a new device online with a trade-in, when will the credit be applied?
- It depends on what you buy and how you pay for it.
- If you buy an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch and pay in full, your credit will be applied to your original payment method up to the total purchase price after we receive your trade-in device and confirm that the condition matches what you described. For any remaining amount, you’ll receive an Apple Gift Card by email.
- If you buy an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch with a trade-in and choose a monthly payment option, your estimated trade-in credit will be applied directly to the purchase price of your new Apple device. Once we receive your trade-in device and confirm that the condition matches what you described, there’s nothing more you need to do. If it doesn’t match, your original payment method will be charged the difference in value. In that case, we’ll work with you to confirm that you still want to move forward with the trade-in.
