High Five Referral Rewards arrives on Samsung Pay<\/p><\/div>\n

They say it\u2019s always better to give than to receive. That\u2019s what the \u201cpay it forward\u201d movement is all about. You may have heard of how one small act of kindness<\/a> at a Florida Starbucks a couple years ago inspired a chain of 378 customers to volunteer to pay for the drink of the person behind them in line. Now, we want to do the same for loyal users spreading the word about Samsung Pay.<\/p>\n

We believe that anyone who tries Samsung Pay will see the benefits for themselves. That\u2019s why we\u2019re encouraging our users to join us, and help pay it forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cHigh Five Referral Rewards<\/strong>\u201d is our new program that rewards users for encouraging their friends and family to try Samsung Pay<\/a>. For the rest of the year, they\u2019ll earn $5 in Samsung Rewards, automatically deposited within the Samsung Pay app, every time someone they referred Samsung Pay to makes their first qualifying purchase,\u00a0for up to 40 referrals. That\u2019s an easy $200 in their pocket, so to speak, just for paying it forward.<\/p>\n

The program leverages our new Samsung Rewards card<\/strong> functionality where funds are automatically added to your Samsung Pay account by participating in promotions like this one. The Rewards Card can be used at any merchant that accepts both Visa debit and Samsung Pay.<\/p>\n

At Samsung, we\u2019ve made a strategic decision to help build momentum for mobile payments while driving innovation through our products and services. People are discovering how easy and rewarding it is to slim down their wallets and pay with their phones. By the end of this year, nearly\u00a0one in five smartphone users[1]<\/u><\/u><\/a>\u00a0in the U.S. will use digital wallet systems like\u00a0Samsung Pay\u00a0to manage all of their cards in one place, and make simple, secure payments from the palm of their hand.<\/p>\n

Word-of-mouth endorsements have already played a big role in bringing users to Samsung Pay. According to a recent AGC survey<\/a>[2]<\/u><\/u><\/a>, Samsung Pay users spend more money, experience fewer issues, and are more satisfied than users of other mobile payment systems. And, according to our own customer survey, 85 percent of users who regularly use Samsung Pay would recommend it to friends and family.[3]<\/a><\/p>\n

Samsung Pay is the simple, safe, and secure payment system that works almost anywhere people can swipe or tap their card, and we\u2019re always working to update the service with new innovative features and programs customers want. With High Five Referral Rewards4<\/sup>, we want to highlight just how easy it is to pay from a Galaxy phone.<\/p>\n

And we want to thank the participants for helping us spread the word.<\/p>\n
