Bonus offer (trade-in bonus)
Buyback & Trade-inPricing ModelsMarket Intelligence
Bonus offer is a temporary increment added to base buyback or trade-in value, usually tied to commercial events such as model launches, campaigns, or loyalty tiers.
Operators use bonus offers to pull forward acquisition volume during targeted windows, for example by paying above baseline market value on selected models around launch cycles. In intelligence terms, recurring competitor bonuses on specific models can signal inventory acquisition priorities and expectations about short-term demand or depreciation direction. Monitoring bonus activation timing and model scope provides context beyond raw base-price comparisons.
