I have two eligible devices to trade up and I do want to make new purchases but I’m not in a position to do so yet.  How long do I have?

    Another option available to all customers with legacy products is to take advantage of the Trade Up program, which allows you to upgrade older Sonos products to modern ones with a 30% discount. Trade Up will be open to customers at any time should they decide to upgrade.

    “any time” - so I have at least a year?

    Even better, you have no limit on when you can trade them in.  The offer is indefinite.

    Why is the Sonos Bridge not listed at upgrade-eligible?

    I believe because it was sold at a low price or even included with early Sonos products.

    I thought there was a Bridge to Boost for 30% off or about $70 deal though.

    More likely because it’s not a speaker, with limited memory and CPU, it’s a network device.

    OMG -- People:  the upgrade program exists for as long as Sonos offers it until they don’t.  It could end tomorrow.  It could last till someone’s newborn grows up and wants to buy a Sonos Play5,000.  Or the program could have ended while you were reading this.

    depending on how the divergence in systems emerges in reality, you might want to keep a bridge to communicate with older units.

    It wouldnt be beyond anyones imagination that the idea of 2 parallel systems might even stretch to having a sonos net 1.0 with old components and a faster and more reliable sonos net 2.0 for the newer ones. 

    Nobody knows!

    And they were given away for free with any purchase for a good portion of their lifespan, so many people have multiple units gathering dust.  Giving 30% off any Sonos item for Bridges people have stacked in their closets is not financially wise.
