Samsung Rewards is Samsung’s loyalty program that lets customers earn points when purchasing eligible products and using selected Samsung services. Those points can then be redeemed for discounts on future purchases, helping customers save money on smartphones, tablets, TVs, home appliances, and other Samsung products.

The program is particularly useful for people who regularly shop through Samsung’s official online store or the Shop Samsung app. Instead of receiving traditional cashback, members accumulate Rewards Points that can be applied toward eligible purchases and other Samsung services.

Here’s everything you need to know about Samsung Rewards, including how to join, earn points, understand membership tiers, and redeem your rewards.

What is Samsung Rewards?

Samsung Rewards is a free loyalty program operated by Samsung. It allows eligible customers to collect points through qualifying purchases on Samsung.com and the Shop Samsung app, along with selected opportunities through Samsung apps and promotional partnerships.

Members can accumulate points over time and use them to reduce the cost of eligible future purchases.

The program has three primary free membership tiers: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Each tier offers a different points-earning rate, with higher tiers providing additional benefits. Samsung also offers a separate paid membership option called VIP Advantage.

Customers with eligible Samsung Accounts may already be enrolled automatically, so creating a separate Rewards account isn’t necessarily required.

How does Samsung Rewards work?

Samsung Rewards works through a straightforward process:

1. Join the program: Sign in to your Samsung Account or create a new one.
2. Make eligible purchases: Shop on Samsung.com or through the Shop Samsung app while signed in.
3. Earn points: Receive Rewards Points based on your membership tier and qualifying purchase amount.
4. Redeem your points: Apply available points toward eligible purchases at checkout.

For example, if you’re a Silver member and purchase an eligible Samsung product for $1,000, you earn 1,000 points under the program’s standard earning structure. Those points are worth $5 when redeemed.

Samsung calculates rewards based on the qualifying purchase amount after applicable discounts, coupons, and other savings. Shipping charges, taxes, and additional fees aren’t included.

Importantly, points aren’t necessarily available immediately. Samsung credits them after applicable return periods and chargeback requirements have been satisfied.

Samsung Rewards membership tiers explained

Samsung Rewards has three free membership levels: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Your membership tier determines how many points you earn and which additional benefits you can access.

Here’s how the standard US program works:

Membership tier	Points earned per $1	Standard rewards rate
Silver	1 point	0.5%
Gold	2 points	1%
Platinum	3 points	1.5%

Each Samsung Rewards point is worth $0.005 when redeemed through eligible Samsung shopping channels.

Silver rewards

Silver is the entry-level membership tier, and it’s free to join.

Silver members earn one point for every eligible dollar spent, equivalent to 0.5% back in Rewards Points. Members can also benefit from additional point multipliers on selected products and promotional events.

It’s a suitable starting point for customers who occasionally purchase Samsung products.

Gold rewards

Gold offers a higher points-earning rate than Silver.

Members earn two points per eligible dollar spent, equivalent to 1% back in Rewards Points. Gold members can also receive a 10% discount on selected accessories for eligible Samsung phones, tablets, home appliances, and home entertainment products.

Customers must meet Samsung’s qualifying requirements to reach this tier.

Platinum rewards

Platinum is the highest standard free membership tier.

Members earn three points per eligible dollar spent, equivalent to 1.5% back. Additional benefits include:

• 20% off eligible Samsung Care+ purchases, subject to Samsung’s conditions.
• 20% discounts on eligible appliance installation and haul-away services.
• Early access to selected Samsung events and promotions.
• Additional Rewards Points multipliers on selected products.

The additional benefits make Platinum more attractive to customers who regularly purchase Samsung products and services.

VIP Advantage

Samsung also offers VIP Advantage, a paid membership program priced at $149.99 annually on its US Rewards page.

VIP Advantage provides an enhanced set of benefits, including:

• Increased Rewards Points earning opportunities.
• Early access to selected promotions and events.
• Exclusive discounts.
• VIP priority customer care.
• Eligible Samsung Care+ coverage and installation benefits, subject to program conditions.

Unlike the three standard tiers, VIP Advantage requires an annual membership payment. Customers should review its current terms and included benefits before subscribing to determine whether the additional cost makes sense for their shopping habits.

How much are Samsung Rewards points worth?

Each Samsung Rewards point is worth $0.005 when redeemed on eligible Samsung shopping channels.

In other words, 200 points are worth $1, while 2,000 points provide a $10 discount.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

Rewards Points	Redemption value
200	$1
500	$2.50
1,000	$5
2,000	$10
5,000	$25
10,000	$50
20,000	$100

The value is straightforward, but remember that Rewards Points aren’t equivalent to cash. They cannot be withdrawn into a bank account or exchanged for cash.

Where can you earn Samsung Rewards Points?

Samsung offers several ways to earn Rewards Points, although opportunities vary by service, promotion, and location.

• Samsung.com and Shop Samsung app: Eligible purchases made while signed in to your Samsung Account earn points according to your membership tier.
• Galaxy Store: Samsung Rewards members can earn points through eligible app purchases and redeem points toward supported purchases.
• Samsung promotions: Samsung occasionally offers bonus points and promotional earning opportunities on selected products and during special shopping events.
• SmartThings: Eligible SmartThings Flex Connect energy-saving activities can provide Rewards Points in supported US locations.

Samsung also highlights additional redemption opportunities through services such as Samsung Art Store and Samsung Food+.

Not every activity earns points, and availability can vary depending on your location and eligibility.

How to redeem Samsung Rewards Points

Once your points become available, you can use them toward eligible purchases.

To redeem your points:

1. Visit Samsung.com or open the Shop Samsung app.
2. Sign in using the Samsung Account associated with your Rewards membership.
3. Add eligible products to your shopping cart.
4. Proceed to checkout.
5. Select Samsung Rewards as your payment option.
6. Apply your available points toward the eligible purchase.

The applicable discount will be reflected in your checkout total.

You can use Rewards Points to cover all or part of an eligible product purchase, depending on your available balance and the applicable checkout restrictions.

However, points generally cannot be used to pay for shipping charges, taxes, or other fees. Samsung Financing also cannot be combined with Rewards Points for the same order, although eligible purchases made using financing can still earn points.

Do Samsung Rewards Points expire?

Yes. Samsung Rewards Points have an expiration period.

Under Samsung’s US Rewards terms and conditions, points expire at the end of the calendar month, 36 months after they were earned.

For example, points earned during November 2026 will expire at the end of November 2029 if they haven’t been redeemed.

Samsung generally applies the oldest available points first when you redeem your balance. This helps members avoid losing older points while accumulating newer ones.

It’s worth checking your Rewards balance and expiration information periodically, particularly if you don’t shop at Samsung frequently.

How to check your Samsung Rewards balance

You can check your available points and membership tier through several Samsung platforms.

On Samsung.com:

1. Sign in to your Samsung Account.
2. Open your account menu.
3. Select My Rewards.
4. Review your available points and membership benefits.

Through the Shop Samsung app:

1. Open the app and sign in.
2. Open the account menu.
3. Select My Rewards.
4. Check your points balance and membership information.

Through Samsung Members:

1. Open the Samsung Members app.
2. Select Benefits.
3. Find Samsung Rewards.
4. Review your available points and benefits.

Is Samsung Rewards worth it?

Samsung Rewards can be worthwhile if you regularly purchase products directly from Samsung.

The biggest advantage is that eligible purchases generate points that can reduce the cost of future Samsung purchases. Higher membership tiers also provide additional discounts and promotional benefits.

However, there are a few limitations worth considering:

• Limited earning channels: Purchases from third-party retailers generally don’t qualify for Samsung Rewards Points.
• Delayed rewards: Points may take several weeks to become available after a qualifying purchase.
• Expiration dates: Unused points expire after 36 months.
• Limited redemption flexibility: Points cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred freely to another person’s account.
• Purchase restrictions: Certain payment methods and additional charges aren’t eligible for point redemption.

For occasional Samsung shoppers, the free Silver membership is a reasonable way to accumulate points without paying an additional fee. Frequent Samsung customers may benefit more from Gold or Platinum, depending on their qualifying purchases.

VIP Advantage is a different proposition because of its annual fee. Its additional benefits are worth considering only if you expect to use them enough to justify the cost.

Final thoughts

Samsung Rewards is a straightforward loyalty program that gives eligible customers additional value when shopping directly through Samsung’s official channels.

Its tiered structure rewards repeat purchases, while the ability to redeem accumulated points toward future purchases makes it useful for customers already invested in Samsung’s ecosystem.

You don’t need to purchase products just to accumulate points, though. The most sensible approach is to treat Samsung Rewards as an additional benefit of purchases you were already planning to make.

For customers who regularly shop at Samsung.com, keeping an eye on available points, promotional multipliers, and membership benefits can make future purchases a little less expensive.
