Even if they won't do a price adjust, I don't think $20 is enough to jump thru hoops for. Think of it like you spent $20 to own the Apple Watch for an extra 14 days.
Don't do a switch-a-roo on your returns. they watch Apple product like a hawk.
Deal_master is right about the trade in. Made an interesting discovery. I have an Apple Watch Series 7 (41mm). Costco will give me $115 gift card for it. Apple, however, will give me $160 for the trade in (also on a gift card). The Costco price is significantly cheaper than Apple ($69 difference, to be exact). Example - Series 9 45mm is $429 from Apple, $359 from Costco. My suggestion? Buy the watch from Costco (or even better, Target for the additional 5% Red Card discount), then trade in old watch with Apple. You'll get a gift card from them you can use for any Apple purchase. That can be applied to Apple subscription services (Music, iCloud storage, etc.) as well.

I just searched Costco trade in and it took me to the 3rd party trade in which is Phobio
has anyone done the trade-in in store or is it through Phobio?
If it's via phobio, be very careful. In past deals, some of us traded devices and had to send it to phobio and they would not give what was promised.
this was several years ago, so they might have gotten better. Just be careful if it's not an on the spot trade in and gift card on the spot.

Thanks for heads up. I'd stick with Apple trade in.
I bought a S9 from Walmart BF about two weeks ago. This is now $20 cheaper. I love the watch but disappointed I didn't hold out a little longer.
Seeing what my best plan of action here. I know I could just return this watch I have on right now but I have it configured already with a screen protector.
Does Walmart track serial numbers on returns? IE I order this from Costco and return it sealed to Walmart?
PS I'm not trying to do anything unethical and certainly not trying to pull off return fraud I'm just seeing if I can have my cake and eat it too of keeping what I have on my wrist and getting another $20 off.
Edit- I'm seeing $5 shipping so I suppose the difference is $15 plus tax.
Lmao all that for $20. You must be a college student?
I've had the iwatch 9 for almost 2 years now and since day 1 I would only get about 6 hours of battery life until I need to recharge, who brings a charger around everywhere they go just to charge this ifad, never again
That's expected as you have an iwatch not an apple watch! Lol

I think you bought a SouljaWatch. Just FYI, to my knowledge, Soulja Boy's websites are not authorized resellers of Apple products.
