I got the gift card credit and 20% discount emails immediately, and I have until Feb 11 (3 weeks) to send in the trade-in item. The credit and discount may be reversed if your trade-in item is eventually found to be unacceptable, but that should be well within the return window if the deal does not work for you. |

Sounds good - should I deregister before returning?

**EDIT** The omniscient tubemonkey beat me to a quick answer... **/EDIT**
I would make sure the trade-in was properly processed and you receive the gift card credit (if applicable) and 20% discount email and the shipping label first (!), then deregister and factory reset your device. I asked about and was told to send "with all accessories" so I am including the cable and wall charger that came with my tablet. I removed my case and *almost* forgot to remove my 128GB MicroSD card, wow I sure would have regretted losing that... Enjoy your new Fire HD10! Emails will look like this, and there will also be one with a UPS shipping label: Quote:

Thanks - it's on order, $75 + tax - traded my 2013 Fire HD 8.9. I haven't used it for years but it's in brand new condition, charged it up last night and it'd holding 100%. I forgot about the charger that came with it but I have one of the old Powerfast chargers I can send back with it.
Edit> Actually I found the original packaging and it apparently didn't include a charger - the instructions recommend buying the Powerfast charger separately. It surprises me that Amazon lets you stack the 20% discount on top of the 33% discounted sale price. Quote:

You're welcome! Yes, it's a crazy-good deal and I couldn't resist. I recall getting a similar discounted deal and 5 interest-free monthly payments when I bought the 2017 HD10 for something like $90, so this time around it's even better. I also have a 2013 Fire HD 8.9 in a cupboard somewhere, enjoyed the superb screen at the time until it was replaced by a new shiny toy (story of my gadget-filled life).

It was also uncomfortably heavy by today's standards. |

My first tablet. I loved it, but soon upgraded to iPads and haven’t used it in years.

MLK and Mother's Day tend to be when Kindles are cheapest apart from Prime Day and Black Friday/holidays.

The only part of this that I have ever participated in was Cyber Monday. There was a time in my life when I enjoyed shopping in department stores: Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Saks. I stopped that around 1998, maybe earlier, but that was the point in my life when I had my debt paid off.
