You can now trade-in old devices for Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses - how it works

"For the first time, you can trade in older devices and get credit toward the purchase of new Meta Oakley or Ray-Ban smart glasses. You can trade in the original Meta glasses or a number of different earbuds, including those from Apple, Beats, and Samsung. Eligible devices do need to be in working condition, Meta explained, and must include the charging case to properly charge the device. You can only trade in one device for each new item purchased."

"Start by purchasing a trade-in eligible new device from the Meta Store. This includes the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1, the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2, the Oakley Meta HSTN, and the Oakley Meta Vanguard. After your purchase is complete, you'll get an order confirmation email with a trade-in questionnaire link. Answer all the questions about your trade-in, and you'll get a quote and instructions for packaging and mailing your current device. If you accept, you'll get a pre-paid shipping label to mail"

Meta introduced a limited-time trade-in program allowing customers to exchange eligible older devices for credit toward new Ray-Ban and Oakley Meta smart glasses. Eligible trade-ins include original Meta glasses and select earbuds from Apple, Beats, and Samsung. Devices must be functional and returned with their charging case. Reported trade-in values are about $110 for first-generation Ray-Bans and around $70 for eligible earbuds. The program runs through December 31, 2025. The process requires purchasing an eligible new device from the Meta Store, completing a trade-in questionnaire, receiving a quote, and mailing the device using a prepaid label if accepted.
