(free gift card, should i redeem it?)MacBook trade-in to phobio they sent me a gift card

[light7978]

I required a trade in for my macbook pro 2019, then I waited for 2months, but I did not get the shipping package.

so I requested another trade-in. it worked, I get the package but forgot to unlock iCloud.

Then they return it.(reasonable)

 

after 10days, I got a message saying that my mac-trade-in worked, and will give me an apple gift card.(this is about the first trade-in which is 4months ago), I thought it was a scam.

 

However, 3days after, I got a email from them, and I received the gift card.

 

the question is, i still have the MacBook, and i also get the gift card that is "real". So should I use the gift card?

I would contact PHOBIO and see whats going on. Sounds wrong to me but who knows.

I wouldn't use it for ethical reasons.

hi, as I'm in Canada, the company did the trade-in is called PHOBIO. And I have tried to contact them, but I did not get any message from them in 4 days. Addition, I sent email to them three times.

I would say you did your due diligence then so go ahead and use it.

 

You are the only one who knows what kind of person you are. If you found a $100 bill on the ground and did your best to see if anyone dropped it would you then turn it in to a police station or would you keep it?
