A free $25 coupon may not sound like much, but it's better than nothing, and it can also be combined with trade-in deals from Best Buy for that new iPad.

This year, if you use Android Pay in the UK, you know that you at least have one cracker’s contents that will be all to yourself.
The mobile payments system, which launched in the country in May, has launched a campaign called “shop. tap. reward.” Every in-store purchase or Transport for London tap with Android Pay this month will net you a virtual cracker in the app.
100,000 gift cards are up for grabs, any one of which could be a £10 card for Costa Coffee, some movie tickets or up to £500 gift cards. Even if you don’t happen to win anything, every cracker you open up will also net you a coin. Collect five coins and you’ll get £3 good at Costa Coffee (up to 250,000 allotments are available).
The contest is available to persons aged 16 or older in all nations except Northern Ireland through December 31.
Android Pay has also lodged itself as a payment option for Uber in Great Britain and users can get half-off their next 10 rides at up to £5 per ride. New TfL features for Android Pay are also being included in the app.
Across all seven territories supporting Android Pay, you’ll find new Android Droids celebrating your purchases for the holiday season!

Not interested in hitting the marketplace with that Apple Watch you’re not hot on anymore? Maybe you’ve dinged the case one time too many. Well, you can take one for the green team and recycle it through one of Apple’s partners. But you won’t be getting any gift cards back your way.
Apple’s recycling program was updated to allow customers to recycle their Watches today, but unlike an iPad, iPhone, Mac, PC or smartphone trade-in, your Apple Watch will be sent the way of the iPod and the other older Apple devices.
The company contracts with three recycling companies to handle the iPhones and iPads, the computers and the other devices: in order, they are SoftBank-owned Brightstar, PowerON Services and Sims Recycling Solutions. The other devices are not eligible for Apple Store Gift Cards like the other devices are. Hell, even the iPod gets some customers somewhere — if it’s not an iPod shuffle, they can trade it in and get 10 percent off a new one.
So, if your Apple Watch is short of smashed up, perhaps you might just go for the Swappa or eBay route after all. Or maybe you’ll just wait it out until Apple gives you a little more incentive to avoid the landfill. After all, the company can definitely change things up in the future and we don’t know what the rationale behind the poor offer.

Discounts ahead of highly anticipated product announcement events?
