Lets say I have an old Iphone that I want to trade in and I want to buy an apple certified Iphone. I don't see any option to trade in on the refurbished page and how can I transfer the data from my old Iphone to the new one if I have send in my old iphone before I receive the new one?

You are correct, there is no option to trade-in an iPhone if you are purchasing from an Apple Certified Refurbished iPhone. The Trade-in program works only towards purchasing a new device.
Now, if you are trading in your old iPhone for a new iPhone then you would backup your old iPhone on iCloud and/or a computer. Once you get your new iPhone, then you would restore the new iPhone from that backup file. Here is some more information on ➔ what to do before you sell, trade-in or give away your iPhone.

I am not sure on how to get a gift card value applied to a purchase that has been already made with another payment method. I recommend that you ask this question to Apple directly by either calling them at 1-800-MY-APPLE or by contacting ➔ Apple Support
If you are referring to a Trade-In credit (not a gift card) then that credit can only be applied toward a purchase of a new device.

You are correct about the gift card issued after a trade-in without a purchase of any Apple Product at the time. You can then apply this gift card amount toward purchasing Apple merchandise from Apple. This applies to trading-in a device without a purchase of a new device at the same time.
Your question is whether you can use this trade-in credit/gift card to pay for an Apple device that has already been ordered but not shipped yet. I do not know the answer to that. I, therefore, ask you to contact Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE or by contacting ➔ Apple Support

Thank you for confirmation, is it possible to apply a gift card to the purchase after it is already made?
I thought after trade in apple gives you a gift card in the mail. Would credit work for an order that's already placed? I don't know what's the difference between credit and giftcard.
