Benefit from an extra 20% off in the latest sale with little-known trade-in trick

Amazon wants you to send your Fire TV Stick back to its warehouses.

Returning your Fire TV Stick to Amazon will unlock a 20% discount across the latest Fire TV hardware, the online retailer has promised. That's already decent saving — but it's been supercharged by the latest sale.


Amazon has slashed prices across its Fire TV Stick line-up — with discounts of up to 37% available.

With both of these generous offers combined, you can save as much as 57% off a brand-new Fire TV Stick. That means you could upgrade to the newest generation of the Fire TV hardware for as little as £15.

If you take advantage of any of the above deals, you'll be eligible to upgrade to the Alexa Voice Remote Pro for £10. Usually £34.99, this upgraded remote control has backlit buttons — so you can see what you're doing even when the lights are off on movie night. Amazon has also fitted this Pro-grade remote control with two customisable buttons. These can be assigned to your favourite channels, apps or an Alexa command.

Fire TV Stick 4K Max has enough processing power to access Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which is a Netflix-like service packed with hundreds of titles from developers including EA, Bethesda, Activision, The Coalition, Double Fine Productions, 343 Industries, id Software, and Playground Games, to name just a few

If you own an ageing Fire TV Stick or Fire TV Cube that's starting to run a little slow and you'd like to exchange for something new, Amazon will supercharge discounts across all current Fire TV models. Even if your Fire TV kit is broken, it will still be eligible to trade-in, Amazon says.

Some new features — like the ability to pair an Xbox wireless controller and stream blockbuster games like Fortnite, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Halo: Infinite, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III — are reserved for the latest Fire TV models from Amazon. If you're watching on older hardware, you'll need to upgrade to the new generation to enjoy those tricks.

Want an even bigger price cut on the latest Amazon kit? The US retailer will offer a whopping 25% off the latest Alexa-powered devices if you send it your old Amazon Echo speaker. Like the Fire TV Stick trade-in deal, there's no need for the old device to work.

Amazon refreshed the Fire TV Stick 4K last year with a speedier processor coupled with 2GB of RAM to unlock a 25% speed boost over the original model, which launched back in 2018.

Not only that, but Amazon added support for Wi-Fi 6 — a newer wireless standard with faster speeds and improved reliability.

While Fire TV Stick 4K enjoys the biggest discount — a whopping 53% off with both offers combined — there are deals available across every model of Fire TV Stick. Amazon offers the ability to spread the cost of your purchase over five monthly payments interest-free to make things even more affordable.

These are the steps to trade-in a Fire TV device on Amazon:

  1. Select any eligible device(s) linked to your Amazon account or search for the model if bought elsewhere
  2. Answer questions about the condition of your device(s) to receive a trade-in quote
  3. Even non-working devices will be eligible
  4. Print a shipping label and send your device(s) for free
  5. Amazon will verify the condition within 3 days after its engineers take delivery of the device
  6. Once your trade-in is complete, you'll receive a limited-time discount towards a new Fire TV Stick
  7. Not only that, but a bonus £2.99 Amazon.co.uk gift card will be applied to your account

Here's the list of Fire TV devices included in the sale —

Fire TV Stick Lite

Looking for the most affordable way to bring the Fire TV experience to your television? The Fire TV Stick Lite is the ideal model for you. This entry-level dongle plugs directly into the HDMI port and unlocks dozens of streaming services, catch-up apps, and games from the Amazon store. Everything is available to watch in High Definition.

Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote

The next model in the line-up arrives with an Alexa Voice Remote, so you can use the chatty AI assistant to launch streaming apps, find shows from a particular director, control playback, and more. Streaming quality is still limited to 1080p HD, but there is support for Dolby Atmos too.

Fire TV Stick 4K

This second-generation Fire TV Stick 4K was unveiled last year, with support for Wi-Fi 6 for improved wireless streaming, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos picture and sound quality, and a 25% speed boost, thanks to the new chipset and 2GB of RAM. You'll also find the Alexa Voice Remote included in the box.

Fire TV Stick 4K Max

Want to future-proof your streaming with a little more speed? Fire TV Stick 4K Max is all about raw power, with support for the latest Wi-Fi 6E wireless standard, 40% more processing power than the standard Fire TV Stick 4K, and twice as much storage too. All of that processing grunt mean it's able to stream the latest blockbuster console games from Xbox Game Pass — with nothing by a wireless controller paired over Bluetooth, to recreate an Xbox-like experience.
It's also the first model to support the new Fire TV Ambient Experience, which displays over 2,000 pieces of museum-quality art and photography when your telly is not in-use.

Amazon Fire TV Cube

This top-of-the-line device combines the functionality of a Fire TV Stick and an Echo Dot, so you'll be able to use hands-free voice commands with Alexa. The smart assistant can change channels, control playback, load up apps and games, as well as answer general knowledge queries, control smart home devices, set timers, add items to your calendar, and more without touching your remote control.
