Trade-In with OnePlus | Instant credit and extra cash back - OnePlus (United States)

The trade-in market value of your old, eligible device will be determined by OnePlus official trade-in partner. Additionally, OnePlus offers an extra trade-in bonus for selected device models. 

Step 1: Get device trade-in value

Select a new OnePlus phone that's right for you and get an estimated trade-in value of your current device.

Step 2: Choose your payment method

OnePlus offers two methods: Trade-in Instant Credit and Get Paid Later. The “Trade-in Instant Credit” option may not be available for all products or scenarios. Please refer to the options presented at checkout for the final available options.

• Choose Trade-in Instant Credit: Your device’s value and bonus can be immediately applied towards your new OnePlus device order, requiring a credit card payment, but you may not be eligible for the 0% APR installment plan. (Note: If the total value of your old device exceeds the maximum instant trade-in credit amount or the new device order amount, the Instant Credit option will not be available.). Track your order status here: https://www.oneplus.com/sales/order/history#/
• Choose Get Paid Later: The device value and bonus will be issued as cashback, but you need to pay the full amount for your new OnePlus device order, but no specific payment method is required. Track your order status here: https://www.oneplus.com/customer/trade

Regardless of your chosen method, if your device’s trade-in value and bonus is higher than your purchase order value, we will send a cash coupon for the remaining amount to your OnePlus account when trade-in order completed.

Step 3: Ship your old device within 21 days of submitting the trade-in order. 

Upon receiving a trade-in order confirmation email, you’ll find a “Download Shipping Label” link. Download and print the prepaid shipping label, attach it to your old device. Follow the instructions provided in the email and ship your device within 21 days to ensure the quoted device value remains valid.

Step 4: Confirm your trade-in Offer

You can find the latest shipment status and inspection results on the Order Tracking Page provided by our OnePlus Trade-in Partner. Upon receiving your device, our trade-in partner will inspect it and perform a data-wipe. If the inspection reveals a different model or condition from your initial description, and the device’s value must be adjusted, you will be promptly notified via email with a revised offer to accept or reject. If your device’s inspection matches your description and the updated quotation meets or exceeds the initial one, your trade-in will be automatically confirmed. The difference will be issued by cash coupon when trade-in order completed.

• If you choose the “Instant Credit” option when purchasing a new OnePlus device and reject the new offer or fail to respond within 14 days (may vary; please follow the email instructions after purchase), your device will be returned for free, but you’ll be charged the full instant discount. If you accept the revised offer, the difference between the initial trade-in value and the updated value will be charged to your payment account instantly.
• If you choose “Get Paid Later” and reject the offer or don’t respond within 14 days (may vary; please follow the email instructions after purchase), your device will be returned at no extra cost, and the cash back offer will be cancelled. However, if you accept the revised offer, the updated value will be refunded to your payment account for the new phone purchase.

When you purchase a new OnePlus device and trade in an eligible old device, you can receive an instant credit, which can be applied immediately towards the purchase of a new OnePlus device. 

The amount of instant credit available varies depending on the new device you are purchasing. For example, when you buy the OnePlus Open, the maximum instant credit amount is limited to $1,000. If the trade-in value of your old device exceeds $1,000, you will not be able to choose the Instant Credit Trade-in method. Instead, you will receive the trade-in value and bonus as cashback.

The “Instant Credit” option may not be available for all products or scenarios. Please refer to the options presented at checkout for the final available options.

If the new device you are purchasing or the region you are in is not eligible for instant trade-in credit, or if the total value of your old device and bonus amount exceeds the maximum instant trade-in credit amount, device value & bonus will be issued as OnePlus cashback.
