The deal is valid on pretty much all models of iPhone 16 and 15, including iPhone and iPhone Plus (the larger model), as well as iPhone Pro and Pro Max. Alternatively, if you want to hop to the Android side, you can get the same gift card deal on the Samsung Galaxy S24 and S24 Ultra. All you have to do is select the one you want on the carrier of your choice: Verizon, AT&T, or Straight Talk.

Personally, I would recommend going with an iPhone 16 since it’s the newest model, and the standard iPhone 16 is very close to the 16 Pro in terms of features. Both can run Apple Intelligence, the new AI features that have begun rolling out and will continue throughout this year and next. In its current state, Apple Intelligence can do things like write and edit emails, create images, identify plants and animals in your photos, and more. Siri is also getting major improvements and can connect to ChatGPT for help when Siri doesn’t have an answer.

As noted above, if you have an eligible trade-in to offer, you can crank the free gift card amount all the way up to $1,500, which can buy you a lot at Walmart. This deal runs through December 8, which is a week past Cyber Monday. That means you have a good deal of time to consider your options and make the right choice for you.

What to Expect for Cyber Monday

As Black Friday continues for big retailers throughout the weekend, keep an eye on video game Black Friday deals from Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox. Waiting for Cyber Monday is risky as the hottest gaming deals tend to sell out fast. This is why Black Friday tends to be the better time to buy video games.

When does Black Friday end and Cyber Monday begin?

As we inch closer to the end of the biggest consumer holiday, it’s smart to keep in mind what each big retailer is planning, when their Black Friday sales end, and when certain Cyber Monday deals begin. As IGN’s Commerce Manager, Eric Song states in his Black Friday deals post: “I’ve worked through numerous Black Fridays over the years, and my experience has always been the same: about half of the deals end on Black Friday at midnight, and the other half will stay live through the weekend and end on Cyber Monday. That said, most deals switch to Cyber Monday a day early, on Sunday, Dec 1.
