What Is Swap Credit?

Swap Credit is the amount you earn by trading in Xbox or PlayStation controllers. It’s applied instantly to your order as a discount toward restored or upgraded controllers.

How to Use Your Swap Credit

  • Apply at Checkout — your Swap Credit appears instantly during the checkout process and is applied to your order total.
  • Use Toward Any Controller: Your Swap Credit can be applied toward our standard restored controllers or any upgraded/custom controllers on our site.

How Values Are Determined

  • Fair Market Value: We provide the highest possible credit amount for your controllers based on current market value.

Eligible Controllers

  • Works or Broken: We accept both fully working and non-working controllers.
  • Brands: Only original Xbox and PlayStation controllers (Microsoft and Sony brands) are accepted. No aftermarket, generic, or third-party controllers.

Condition Requirements

Controllers must meet certain conditions to qualify for Swap Credit:

  • No Severe Damage: Controllers should not be smashed, cracked open, or physically destroyed.
  • Complete Parts: All buttons, thumbsticks, and internal components should be present (even if broken).

Swapping Rules

To ensure a smooth and fair swapping process, please review our guidelines:

Condition Requirements

  • Original Brands Only: We accept only genuine Xbox and PlayStation controllers — aftermarket or third-party controllers are not eligible.

Send Back Your Controller

  • Return controllers within 7 days of receiving the Swap Box.
  • Use the prepaid return label included in the box.
  • Controllers must meet condition requirements (see condition Requirements).
  • Pack controllers securely to prevent damage during transit.
  • Controllers sent late or outside the timeframe may be subject to charges.

Cancellation Policy

  • If your controllers do not meet the above condition requirements, we reserve the right to cancel the swap.
  • In such cases, you will be informed promptly, and the swap will not proceed until criteria are met.

By participating in our swap program, you agree to these conditions to ensure a fair experience for everyone.
