  • OnePlus has fixed its Any Device Any Condition trade-in program, and its recycling partner will now reach out to buyers to collect their old devices.
  • Previously, buyers could utilize the program to get a $100 discount on their purchase without sending in an old device for recycling.

OnePlus has plugged the loophole in its Any Device Any Condition trade-in program. The company will now reach out to buyers to send in their old devices when they utilize the program to get a $100 discount on a new phone.

For the unaware, OnePlus’ Any Device Any Condition trade-in program offers a $100 recycling reward on purchases when buyers trade in an old device, irrespective of its condition. Earlier this month, some buyers spotted a loophole in the program that allowed them to get the discount without actually sending in an old device, as neither OnePlus nor its recycling partner reached out to collect it.
