Understanding the Trade-In Process
The trade-in process involves evaluating your device’s condition, choosing your preferred payout method, and completing the necessary steps to finalize the trade. Cricket offers various options, including direct cash payouts and store credit that can be used for future purchases.

Trading In for Cash or Store Credit
Cricket offers two main options for trade-in rewards: cash or store credit. Here’s how to choose and proceed with each:
