Keep in mind the Gen 3 just got released, with an HDMI IN/OUT port and some improvements like WIFI 6E etc. We should see the Gen 2 continue to stay pretty well discounted.

So less time to fill up with apps on the stick. Cube also has the IR blaster included to help with remote range. I just traded in a fire stick for another one of the cubes.

Personally I've been looking for a higher RAM device if I ever want to run something like Kodi. If anyone has a suggestion that's not the nVidia shield, let me know.
I just did this last week and can verify a total price of $32.99 + Tax ($59.99 - $24 - $3)
The increase in speed between THIS deal and a plain old FireStick 4K (not max) is night and day. Like 1 second to launch apps already launched, 2-3 at most if just rebooted. 3x that on the plain sticks.
Check out the attached chart for perf comparisons across all FireTV devices new and old
(The 4K Max will fit between a 4K stick and THIS cube deal. The new cube will be even faster)

Not everyone has instant credit applied. If you have recently done another trade in, or some other flag on your account, they will not offer you instant credit and instead on the trade in submission page will clearly state that the credit will be received AFTER they receive the trade and evaluate it.
It took a few weeks after trading an echo dot this summer for the Show5 deal in July before my account could receive instant credit on a fire stick trade.
See attached picture of final screen before clicking Submit that indicates whether or not you will receive instant credit vs having to wait for credit.

You can only do 1 trade at a time for instant credit. Doing two in the same trade transaction will give you $3 x 2 back but only a single 20% off instant. As soon as you do a trade, then your account will be locked out of another instant trade until after they receive and evaluate the one you've already traded which can take a month or so.

Pendant: 2017
Fire OS 6 / Android 7.1 / System 6.2.9.1 ; 4x ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1.5Ghz / 2GB Ram / 8 GB Flash
Fire TV Stick Lite (Same as stick just with basic remote): 2020
Fire OS 7 / Android 9.0 / System 7.2.8.5 ; 4x ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1.7Ghz / 1GB Ram / 8 GB Flash
Use the INFORMER app to double check the specs of your devices.
The pendant is only better based on double the ram. Everything else is better about the stick. But you need to do real world testing to see what app re-launch performance is between them. Likely better on the Pendnant since it will cache twice as much in memory.
