FAQs
Does Samsung have a reward scheme?
Yes - Samsung has its own Samsung Rewards program that operates as a loyalty scheme for regular customers. Anyone can sign up for this, regardless of whether they use Samsung Pay or not, and you'll earn a number of points back per purchase. As of writing, one point equates to around $0.005 of value and you can earn points from not just purchases, but by also referring friends to the Samsung Store and with free 'random' giveaways by Samsung itself.
Who qualifies for Samsung first responder discount?
Paramedics, firefighters, police, doctors, nurses, and anyone who can be readily accessed via a 911 call for their job should be qualified for the Samsung first responder program. To check your eligibility, you'll need to verify yourself using your work email and a valid ID using the ID.me service on the Samsung site. While there are a few hoops to jump through here, discounts can range all the way up to 30% off so it's definitely worth investigating if you think you're eligible.
Do we recommend Samsung products?
Yep! We love Samsung products here at TechRadar and they've been regular fixtures on our best TVs and best phones buyer's guides in particular.
Right now, our favorite phone is the stunning Galaxy S23 Ultra, which, while expensive, is an easy recommendation if you're searching for a top-notch flagship with cutting-edge features. In our review, we particularly liked the new camera features and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip makes it one of the most powerful mobile devices on the market. All that said, it's prohibitively expensive and most users will be more than happy with the cheaper standard Galaxy S23 and the slightly larger Galaxy S23 Plus too.
For televisions, you can see our handy guide to the best Samsung TVs for excellent advice and recommendations from our staff. A couple of highlight choices include the absolutely stunning Samsung QN900B Neo QLED 8K TV for those looking for something truly high-end and the reasonably priced Samsung BU8500 as a great lower-costed 4K option.
When and what is Samsung Week?
Samsung Week is the official Samsung Store's big annual sale, offering some of the best discounts you'll find all year round on phones, TVs, and appliances, among other tech. In 2022, this week-long shopping extravaganza was held in late October or early November, a date that generally coincides with the build-up to the yearly Black Friday sales. If you're on the hunt for some discounted Samsung tech then you'll definitely want to keep an eye out for this year's Samsung Week, which we're expecting to fall on similar dates.
Can I redeem these Samsung coupon codes on mobile?
Yes - there's essentially no difference in redeeming these codes on mobile versus redeeming them via a desktop machine. In the rare cases you'll need a code (most discounts on the Samsung store are upfront), then all you'll need to do is copy the code onto your mobile clipboard and then use it at checkout.
Can I redeem Samsung coupon codes in store?
This will depend on what kind of discount you're looking for. According to the Samsung site, discounts for first responders, military, and students are tied to a verified email address and relevant form of identification. For upfront discounts and trade-in rebates, you will likely be able to find similar options in-store, although we'd recommend finding your local Samsung Experience store and calling up to see what's available.
Samsung hints and tips
📱 Trade in your old devices
The Samsung Store, like many other retailers these days, offers a really competitive trade-in program that you can use to not only safely dispose of your old tech, but get some really juicy discounts on new purchases. If you have an old phone, laptop, or tablet that works and is in relatively good condition, then we'd highly recommend investigating the myriad trade-in options you'll find before you check out one of the latest Galaxy smartphones, Galaxy Book laptops, or Galaxy Tab tablets.
🎰 Shop around big retail events
Yearly events like Black Friday or Samsung Week are great times to be shopping at the official Samsung Store. Generally speaking, these run from late October to early December, and you'll regularly find the best prices all year on TVs and appliances at the Samsung store, as well as things like free smartwatches and earbuds being offered with Galaxy smartphones. Even though these two previously mentioned events take place late in the year, you'll generally find excellent deals on the Samsung offers page around other retail events like President's Day, Labor Day, and Amazon Prime Day in mid-summer.
📺 Shop refurbished devices
Not bothered about getting the shiniest new device possible? A great alternative to buying a new device upfront is to head on over to the Samsung certified re-newed store. Here you'll find a number of pre-owned items that have been checked, refurbished, and tested by Samsung itself up for sale with discounts ranging up to 30% off new prices. Since these items are guaranteed under a 1-year warranty and are in 'like-new' condition, this is potentially a great option for bargain hunters and one that's much more eco-friendly than buying tech new.
👮♀️ Use student, military, and first responder discounts
Samsung offers a diverse range of exclusive discounts for certain occupations and students that are well worth checking out if you think you're eligible. While you'll need a relevant email address and photo ID, first responders, government workers, those in the military, and Samsung employees are all eligible for discounts ranging up to 30%.
👩👧 Refer a friend
Signing up to the Samsung rewards scheme also unlocked the option to refer a friend for additional rewards. While your friend will get 5% off their purchase, you can potentially get points that are anywhere up to $100 per friend, for a potential total of $1,000 per year. If you know a friend who likes their Samsung tech as much as you do, them it's a great idea to ask them for a referral or visa versa.
How to use Samsung promo codes
To redeem your Samsung coupon code you'll need to copy and paste it into the 'Enter Promo/Referral Code(s) Here?' field when you checkout. As the name suggests, this is also the relevant field if you happen to have a referral code from a friend. After you've pasted in your code, simply click 'Apply' and then check out as per usual to recieve your discount.
