With the new Galaxy S26 lineup set to go up for pre-order today, there are ways to secure some FREE Samsung credit head of time you’ll want to be aware of if you’re not already. There is only a few hours left to lock down the FREE $30 credit Samsung is promoting ahead of the Galaxy launch today and some users are reporting a surprise $50 credit waiting on their account already.
Samsung reportedly handing out FREE $50 credits – go check if you got one
On top of the other Galaxy S26 preorder deals we have already detailed right here, several reports have hit the internet suggesting some Samsung users/accounts are already seeing a somewhat mysterious $50 credit attached to their account right now.
It appears this credit is just showing up out of nowhere, but it’s hard to say for sure what the reason is. Perhaps Samsung is just looking to add some extra incentive for folks to pre-order today or it is somehow tied to the Reserve campaign. Either way you’ll want to go scope out your account to check if you have the $50 credit ready and waiting.
Unlike the Reserve credit detailed below, users are reporting it is not tied to Galaxy S26 pre-orders – they are using to score free accessories right now by the looks of it.
It looks as though this might just be available to select users in the U.S. – reports suggest Canadian accounts aren’t seeing this at this point.
FREE $30 Samsung credit ahead off Galaxy S26 pre-order today
As we reported previously, Samsung’s Reserve campaign for the new Galaxy S26 lineup is now live, and will be disappearing soon. You’ll want to go drop your email down on the official site to ensure you lock down the bonus credit whether you plan on using it or not. You don’t actually have to end up pre-ordering anything here today, but you might to make sure your credit is attached to your Samsung account/email address beforehand.
Historically speaking, this credit will be attached to your email/IP address when you go to pre-order your Galaxy S26, S26+, or Galaxy S26 Ultra at any point during ahead of delivery day, and you do not need to wait for and email from Samsung – this way you can take advantage of giant discounts we have already detailed, and will uncover shortly after pre-orders go live today (there are often chances to score FREE Galaxy Buds and more if you know what to look for).
And the go dive into all of the details on the best Galaxy S26 pre-order offers right here ahead of today’s kick-off this afternoon:
How to get the best deals on Galaxy S26 pre-orders ahead today’s launch
- Score a FREE $30 credit towards bonus accessories – these usually include phone cases, Galaxy Watch models, and likely the new Galaxy Buds 4, among other things.
- Up to $900 in trade-in value – Samsung is promoting up to $900 off the new S26 devices with trade-ins. If this works anything like last year, you won’t actually have to Reserve to see this sort of value, but again, it’s hard to say for sure. Chances are the $900 off only applies to the most expensive S26 Ultra, and only with a relatively new device to flip, but there will nonetheless be a chance to save hundreds on all of the S26 devices with trade-ins directly from Samsung.com.
- Up to $150 off Galaxy S26 devices – Samsung has already said it will also be offering $150 cash discounts on Galaxy S26 devices but it does not appear to be promoting this on its Reservation page here in the U.S. We can’t say for sure if this will actually be the case when pre-order day arrives, or if it is indeed tied to Reservation sign-ups, but you likely don’t want to miss out here if it is.
