Will Apple Store Transfer data from old computer to new one before I trade in old one?

I want to trade in my old laptop and put the credit towards a new laptop.

At the same time, I want to transfer the data on my old comp to the new comp.

Can the apple store transfer my data and then apply the credit for the trade in laptop to the cost of the new laptop?

As BDAqua says: buy an external drive and back up your old laptop. TimeMachine is free and already on your laptop.

It's advised to make backups regularly!

Once you have a backup, use Migration Assistent to transfer data to your new laptop
