There’s definitely a convenience factor. Want to just come to the same store you’re buying your new laptop, not worry about wiping your device or other security issues? You can just bring your laptop and hand it to them.

I personally go for Craigslist and 50% more money, but apple trade in is easy to recommend for the technology incompetent

Very low trade-in prices. Better to sell elsewhere to get much better prices. Only benefit with Apple trade-in is the convenience offered.

I’m in the same boat. I’ve been adding gift cards and when it came time to buy my kids new laptops, I couldn’t use it. They couldn’t even tell me why I was locked; the website just would refuse to use the money. I managed to burn some of it on an iPad but now I’ve got $1100 in that account that’s waiting for the M4 laptops for me to try again.
Yeah you can obviously try again, just make sure to reserve account spending unlock from media&purchases team and get your 24-48hr shopping window activated. Or try to buy any single item for 1100 and ask to give you physical GC as a refund.

You could - but never do that. I had $1000 in various gift cards so i consolidated them to my apple account. Why? Well because Apple said so: that I can use it whenever and however.

Long story short, i was not even able to use a penny towards hardware purchase. Funny enough icloud and apps were paid seamlessly but not the physical products. It took me 2 weeks of calling customer support with already researched info on what to ask, what to tell, whom to escalate.

After that, they gave 24 hours window to spend all my money on harware until next anti fraud lockup. I spent it all and promised to never carry a thing there.
