FAQs
Does Microcenter do trade ins?
Yes, Microcenter offers a GPU trade-in program, but it's only for graphics cards originally purchased from Microcenter. Take your old GPU into your nearest Microcenter store for a same-day evaluation and store credit.
Is Microcenter legit?
Microcenter has been a staple for tech-lovers since 1979 and has 29 stores across the US. They're definitely a popular and trusted brand. And because they have real brick and mortar stores you can physically buy any of their products in person if you're worried.
Will Microcenter price match Amazon?
It depends. Microcenter doesn't list specific brands or stores that they match. Instead, they have a list of prerequisites the item needs to meet.
Microcenter states that the Competitor must list the same model number and/or UPC number. Brick-and-mortar stores must have the item in stock at the closest retail store to the customer. The competitor must have the item in stock. If the item is available for shipping, it must be sold and shipped directly by the competitor, not through a third-party listing, and the competitor must be able to have the item shipped within 7 days.
Does Microcenter take Apple Pay?
Yes! Microcenter accepts Apple Pay in addition to other digital methods such as Samsung Pay and Google Pay.

How we source coupon codes
The coupons you’ll find on Tom’s Guide have been sourced by our dedicated coupons team, who use the web, our relationships with retailers, & our affiliate networks to find the latest codes. The offers on each coupon page are updated every few days to ensure we feature the freshest ways to save, and our commercial team (based in London) also sources exclusive codes and sales info directly from some of the biggest retailers around.
How we test coupon codes
All the coupon codes we list on our pages have been tested by our deals & offers teams to check they work as intended before they’ve been uploaded. You’ll find a wide range of coupons on Tom’s Guide, including free shipping offers, student discounts, and savings on various kinds of products.
To ensure that all listed codes are available to use, we don’t include any one-time use or user-specific coupons. We also provide as much information as we can to keep things as clear as possible - any expiry dates or terms & conditions will be listed alongside the code. Look for the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text - you’ll be able to click this to expand this section for more details.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
We take care to only list tried & tested coupons on our pages, so all codes should be active and confer the listed discount or deal. However, although we keep up to date with expiry dates and any terms & conditions, sometimes retailers change these before we can update our pages.
Should a coupon fail to work as expected, check you meet any listed requirements. These can include minimum spends, multibuy offers, or product-specific promotions (i.e. 10% off selected tablets). You can view all associated requirements by clicking “View terms and conditions” below your code.
If this does not solve your issue, you can contact our customer service team by emailing coupons.tomsguide@futurenet.com. Make sure to let us know which coupon you were trying to use and which page this was listed on, and we’ll be in touch to help as soon as possible.
How we make money
Tom’s Guide makes money from coupons through a commission-based model. We have agreements in place with each retailer on our site - for every purchase made using one of our coupons or deals, we earn a small percentage of the order total back in commission.
Thanks to this model, we can save our customers money without charging them a thing. You won’t pay a penny to get the discounts listed on our pages, so whichever code or deal you choose, you’ll get exactly what it says on the tin
