Several Galaxy users in the US are reporting that they’ve received a $50 Samsung Store credit out of the blue. According to posts on Reddit, the credit appears to come with no strings attached and is simply showing up in people’s Samsung accounts; no preorder, reservation, or purchase required.
Even users who didn’t express any interest in the Galaxy S26 lineup or the Galaxy Buds 4 are finding the credit waiting for them.
Based on the discussion, this seems to be a US-only perk. Users in Canada say they’re not seeing the same credit applied to their accounts.
Those who’ve received the $50 are already putting it to use. Popular picks include Samsung’s 45W charger, which conveniently costs $49.99, effectively making it free. Others are grabbing accessories like Galaxy SmartTags without spending a cent.
One Reddit commenter speculated that the credit might be going out to users who signed up for Unpacked event emails, but there’s no confirmation from Samsung. Either way, it’s worth checking your Samsung account. You might be sitting on an unexpected $50 bonus.
