Best Buy will give you an iPhone 5 for trading in your old smartphone

From now until Monday, Best Buy will be giving you an iPhone 5 if you exchange your old smartphone.
The retailer is giving a guaranteed minimum $100 trade-in credit for old smartphones as long as you switch to the iPhone 5 on AT&T, Sprint or Verizon with a two-year activation in the store. The phone costs $99 with contract making the deal a pretty good one if you are willing to take a one-year old device.

After the promotion ends, the iPhone 5 will likely be gone for good from stores, replaced by the plastic iPhone 5C and the new flagship iPhone 5S. The 5C also sells for $99, and the 5S takes the $199 slot.

The deal is great for customers with old, working smartphones, especially devices that would not get you $100 elsewhere, even on Craigslist. The deal is good for Best Buy as it helps clear out inventory in the quickest way possible.

If they gave a Galaxy S3 or S4 that would be great. I'd be tempted to punch you in the face if you gave me an iphone! LOL...
