As the tech world is consumed with all things Apple amid the company's big announcement event in California tonight, the company's local reseller iStore has announced a guaranteed cash back option for iPhone owners.
iStore says iPhone owners are entitled to a guaranteed cash back of up to R5 000 when they trade in their current iPhone for a new one, as part of a new contract upgrade, contract renewal or cash purchase at any iStore in SA.
The new upgrade programme is applicable to all iPhone owners, irrespective of where it was bought or where the cellular contract was initiated. "iStore offers new contracts and upgrades on all cellular networks (Vodacom, MTN, Cell C and Telkom Mobile)," says the reseller.
"If you are due for an upgrade on your iPhone anytime between now and 28 February 2015, all you have to do to obtain your cash back voucher is register at www.myistore.co.za. The voucher will be sent to you by e-mail, and can be redeemed at any iStore when trading in your current iPhone for a brand new one."
The voucher is valid for six months, and is locked in at the minimum trade-in value of the customer's current iPhone, even if its value declines over the period. "This ensures that you get a guaranteed price for your iPhone and you are under no obligation to use the voucher - it's entirely up to you," says iStore.
The trade-in values are set at R5 000 for an iPhone 5S, R4 000 for an iPhone 5C or iPhone 5, R2 500 for an iPhone 4S, and R1 500 for an iPhone 4. These values apply to a new contract or an upgrade, in which case the amount will be paid to the customer by electronic funds transfer. For a cash purchase, the value will be discounted from the price of the new iPhone.
