Samsung is giving away over $50 worth of goodies to all of its existing customers as of today. The occasion is what the company refers to as the “Summer of Galaxy” – a promotional event meant to reward its existing customers for… well, existing.
Despite its name, this “summer” is only set to last for a month, as far as vouchers are concerned. Which is all anyone cares about, to be honest. As per Samsung's official announcement of the event, there's something for everyone here in terms of goodies. Everyone stateside, that is, as this is a U.S.-exclusive offer.
A 50% discount on the Galaxy Watch 3 is also on offer – with a catch
Perhaps the least surprising offer is also the most valuable of the bunch in terms of savings – it's the three-month subscription to YouTube Premium. You know the one, Samsung's been offering it in a perpetual manner for years. “Perpetually” meaning every other week, more or less.
But it's not Samsung's fault no one wants to pay for YouTube. Have you seen it lately? Still, given how a third of the planet is running Galaxy devices these days, Google's sales strategy appears to be on point: just sell the subscriptions nobody wants in a bulk to Samsung for pennies on the supposed dollars, then claim your premium service is growing every quarter while the investors fall over themselves.
Oh well, at least the rest of the Summer of Galaxy offerings are somewhat decent: there's a $5 Uber Eats voucher, three months' worth of a Billboard Pro membership, and a comparable Twitch offering. Additionally, the most hardcore fans who manage to find a friend to buy a Galaxy S21-series device will net themselves and their plus-one a 50% discount on the Galaxy Watch 3.
