Ending tonight, US customers can go to Samsung’s website or the Shop Samsung App to register their interest in a new Samsung Galaxy smartphone, a Galaxy book, or both, to secure up to $100 in Samsung Credit. If you reserve a product, you can take advantage of $50 in Samsung Credit for one device, or $100 in Samsung Credit when you show interest in two devices. You must provide your first name, last name, and email address, although a phone number is optional. It’s important to note that registering your interest does not bind you to the purchase. As a result, if you like the look of the new Galaxy devices set to be on show, you win either way – reserve your devices, purchase, and enjoy the free credit, or choose not to go ahead and lose nothing. The credit amount can be redeemed once pre-orders are open. However, there is a caveat: according to Samsung’s small print, the credits – or “reservation gift” – won’t apply to the new devices. Instead, Samsung says the credit “must be used at the time of pre-order purchase towards purchasing additional eligible products on Samsung.com, or in the Shop Samsung App. Any remaining balance not used during the pre-order purchase is lost.” Also: Samsung will announce the Galaxy S23 on Feb. 1 at Unpacked. Here’s what to expect On February 1, for the first time in three years due to the pandemic, Samsung will hold an in-person Unpacked event in San Francisco. We expect the tech giant to announce the Samsung Galaxy S23, the latest device in Samsung’s flagship smartphone range, and we may also see new laptops or tablets. Also: Samsung’s Ready Care smart car system is straight from a sci-fi movie If you’re just as excited about the new devices as we are, you can also tune in for the official livestream to see what Samsung has been up to this past year. We’ll be watching so if you aren’t able to livestream it, and until the clock strikes midnight tonight, you can save yourself up to $100 with this deal.
