Refund back to original payment method if you trade in your device prior to 14 days?

I would like to trade-in my phone with apple store, can I buy the iphone 14 pro first then bring my old phone the next week and have them refund my original payment? I read somewhere we can do it if it is under 14 days and we do not select the trade-in option online? Anyone know about this?

The indicated trade-in value is valid for 14 days, when you DO select the trade-in buy option. Else you can get an Apple Gift card for the trade-in value of the old device.
