GoPro has relaunched its Trade-Up program, this time as a permanent option for customers located in the United States. The program first launched last year, but only as a temporary promotion limited to previous-generation GoPro cameras exchanged for discounts on current-generation models.
This time around, GoPro is accepting nearly any digital camera in any condition.
The company says it will accept any GoPro or non-GoPro digital camera under the program, and that any condition is acceptable, including "destroyed. " To participate, customers must use the Trade-Up website to purchase either a Fusion or HERO6 Black, where they'll receive a $50 discount on the HERO6 Black (bringing the price down to $350) and/or a $100 discount on the Fusion (bringing the price down to $600).
GoPro provides the customer with a prepaid shipping label to send the company their trade-in camera; once the trade-in is verified, GoPro ships the newly purchased camera to the customer.
According to the program's FAQ, the trade-in camera must have a new value of at least $100 USD, and while multiple cameras can be traded-in, only one discount can be applied per camera purchase. Customers have 45 days to ship the trade-in to GoPro; once received, the company will charge their payment card for the new device.
Explaining why it decided to expand the program to cover any digital camera, GoPro says, "It’s not so much that we want your old camera. We just want to make it easy for you to get your hands on the latest and greatest GoPro. "
