Looking to upgrade your living room or bedroom furniture set but worried about the cost? No one wants to be penny-pinching their way through life, but luckily there are ways to save money without sacrificing quality.

IKEA Australia has recently announced their August Buy-back program, a chance for savvy SDC members to get extra cash or a store discount for their preloved IKEA furnishings.

It sounds too good to be true, right? Let’s take a closer look at what’s going on.

IKEA has been offering its customers the chance to sell preloved furniture and get store credit in return since 2022.

What’s new for customers in August of this year is the bonus of a 50 per cent extra value refund for IKEA Family members who use the service.

That’s right: not only will you get the cash you need to upgrade your furniture, but you’ll also score a bonus of 50 per cent of the Buy-back value in an IKEA refund card. You can use it to purchase something new immediately in the store.

Christopher Nilsson, Service Experiences Leader for IKEA Australia, recently shared a statement on this offer:

'We know that Aussies are continuing to feel the pinch due to the rising cost of living. With households impacted nationwide, we want to ensure our customers are still able to make the most of their home through the year-round affordable products IKEA provides as well as limited-time offers like 50% additional value through Buy-back.'

You might be wondering: how can you get in on the Buy-back Program?

It’s easy! All you need to do is ensure you’re a part of the IKEA Family loyalty program.

Then, you must attain a buy-back service quote between August 18 and August 29 and return the item between August 18 and September 25th.

Afterwards, you can just sit back and wait for the refund!

You can find out more about the Buy Back Service on the IKEA website, and if you’re after a little bit of inspiration, take a peek at the most popular furniture items in store.

I think Ikea's quality of goods have declined over the years. Some are fine, some not.

My daughter sold a desk chair back to them, she paid $140 on sale and sold it back for $90 .
She was pleasantly surprised

Is it is up to the seller to get the item back to the store? With a large item like a T.V. Cabinet, l wonder if this could be pulled down & returned for transporting?
