A trade-in basically gets you a gift card which can then be used towards a purchase from Apple. I don't know if there's an automatic process for that when buying refurbished items but it's essentially the same.

- Start a trade-in by clicking on a device in the section "Select your device to get a trade-in estimate" - Smartphone, Tablet, Computer, Watch, Other devices (recycle only)
