Less than a week ago, Microsoft dangled a $200 store credit to anyone who wanted to trade in an iPad for a Surface tablet. Now, the total has climbed to $350 via a new deal.
It's not as simple as all that, however. Microsoft's previous offer covered "gently used" iPad 2, 3, and 4s, which users had to simply tote into a Microsoft store and redeem, in a partnership with CExchange.
With the new deal, there are four steps. First, you'll need to determine how much your old devices is worth via a partnership with Clover Wireless; second, you must buy a new Microsoft device, such as Surface tablet; third, you'll need to ship Clover your old gear. Finally, after some time, Clover will send you a prepaid Visa card with the value of your trade-in stored within it.
Fortunately, you can quickly determine what you'll receive if you happen to be someone who wants to swap their iPad for a Surface. A standard Apple iPad 4 (32 GB) in "good physical condition" is worth $285 in rebates, according to Microsoft, slightly less than half of its $599 retail price. Naturally, the rebate value will vary depending on the make and model of the tablet or phone being exchanged.
