Hi,

Try to contact Apple Support to ask about it.

There is no prohibition against using trade in and student discount. But the payment for your trade-in is convoluted. Be sure you read and understand the terms. It appears you need to pay the student price, then your trade-in value (if it sticks) will be applied as a refund to your payment method -- or you can do it ahead and get a Gift card or a pending credit for a new purchase:

• • • Should I choose a trade-in refund or an Apple Store Gift Card?
    • It depends on where and when you make a purchase.
    • 
      
    • If you’re ready to buy a new product at an Apple Store, you can bring your old device with you. If it’s eligible for trade-in, we’ll apply an instant credit at the time of purchase. The only exception is that we don’t currently accept Mac trade-ins in the Apple Store.
    • If you’re ready to buy a new Apple product online (apple.com or the Apple Store app), you can add a trade-in and get a refund back on your new purchase, once we receive and verify its condition.
    • If you’re not ready to make a purchase, you can trade in your old device online for an Apple Store Gift Card via email that you can apply to any future Apple purchase.
    • And no matter how you use Apple Trade In, if your device has no trade-in value, you can always recycle it responsibly for free.
