Samsung US is bribing football fans via Venmo to join better watch parties

Samsung has found a quirky way to win over US football fans and promote its TVs. The company will soon run a limited-time campaign that rewards eligible fans with $50 via Venmo. Why? So they can spend on a rideshare to a college football watch party where a Samsung TV is the centerpiece.

To enter, message Samsung USA on X or Instagram with a photo of your current non-Samsung TV setup. The first 900 eligible entries win the prize. The campaign, called TV Transfer Portal, is set to kick off for a limited time on January 19.

Samsung believes that “nothing ruins a championship watch party faster than a subpar TV setup.” So, apart from the $50 you can win for a rideshare, Samsung USA is also giving every football fan a chance to save 50% on select TV models.

That way, you can host your own awesome watch party and show off your new Samsung TV. These 50% discounts are valid until February 8.

First Samsung device: SGH-A800

Mihai is a blogger and column writer at SamMobile. His first Samsung phone was an A800 which took a lot of beating, and a part of him still misses the novelty of the clamshell design. In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
