Nintendo Switch owners encouraged to submit old consoles this week

Owners of Nintendo Switch consoles have been encouraged to trade in their old devices through Amazon this week to unlock a concealed discount.

For those unfamiliar with the process, the Amazon Trade-In Program offers a way for customers to exchange used electronics for a voucher, along with an additional 20 percent discount on a new Amazon device.

As an example, trading in an old Nintendo Switch could yield up to $70, while a Switch Lite might fetch $60.

The Amazon Trade-In Program is set up to allow customers to exchange or recycle their used gaming consoles, iPhones, Apple AirPods, and various Amazon devices like Fire Sticks or Echo Dots.

Amazon either recycles or refurbishes the selected item, eventually reselling it to a new owner.

To participate, simply visit the Amazon Trade-In Program. You will be required to answer some questions about the item and send it to Amazon via mail.

Once the item is evaluated, you’ll receive an Amazon voucher based on its condition and quality, along with 20 percent off Amazon devices.

Devices eligible for trade-in include products like Fire Sticks, Echo Dots, Ring Doorbells, and Kindles.

In the realm of gaming and accessories, you have options to trade in products ranging from the PS5 to the Nintendo Wii. The monetary return will vary depending on the item’s condition and quality.

For example, trading in a used Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X could bring in up to $220.
