Has anyone got anyone got any experience of using Brightstar or another method for trade-in

Thanks did you go in-store for the trade-in ? apple have provided this method https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/trade-in

I've used the Apple trade in a couple of times and each time they've refunded the money back onto my original payment method. You could do that and then just buy a gift card.

I've never seen Brightstar mentioned, all the emails come from Apple and the refund was from Apple.
