Microsoft Offers $200 for iPad Trade-In

According to MacRumors, Microsoft has begun a new trade-in program - if you bring your iPad to one of the company’s retail stores, you will get a $200 gift card. Such promotion is aimed to boost the Microsoft Surface RT and Pro sales, which are very weak now.

With the $200 card each customer can purchase the entry-level Surface tablet for only $149. Still, the question remains: why would you change your iPad for a less-powerful Windows RT device?

Anyway, take a look at the trade-in program details:

How to redeem this offer

Bring in your gently used iPad 2, 3, or 4 and get a minimum of a $200 gift card to the Microsoft store.

The promotion is valid for the U.S. and Canadian customers until October 27.
