Does Samsung Pay Offer Cashback?

Yes! Samsung Pay offers cashback in the form of their rewards program called Cash Back Awards


The cashback deals that Samsung Pay offers are definitely geared towards food delivery savings, but you’ll find large cashback deals when you spend on everyday items at your favorite stores, too. Here is a quick look at the stores where you can snag some cashback when you pay with Samsung Pay:


  • Groupon
  • Old Navy
  • Warby Parker
  • Nike
  • Kohl’s 
  • Sam’s Club
  • Disney+
  • Booking.com
  • Hello Fresh


Some of the top offers currently include up to 16% cashback when purchasing an experience on Groupon, up to 10% cashback as Sam’s Club, and 5% cashback when ordering food via Uber Eats. While these deals change all of the time, it’s been quite common for Samsung Pay to offer similar deals at a wide variety of stores and brands.

How to Sign Up for Samsung Pay Cashback Deals

What’s so great about the cashback deals with Samsung Pay is that you don’t have to sign up or do anything particularly special to access them. All you have to do is use the app! 


This means that you’ll obviously have to connect a credit card or debit card so that you can make purchases with the app. However, once you have set up your account in Samsung Pay (should be the same as your regular Samsung account to access other Samsung products) and have connected a card to pay with, simply checking out at participating stores while using the app will earn you the cashback rewards.


The app should track your rewards. And, if you ever need to access the latest deals, just visit this page to browse through a list of updated Cash Back Awards.

The Fine Print of Samsung Pay Cash Back Awards

The one thing that most users seem to get confused about when using Samsung Pay Cashback Awards is that they are different from Samsung Rewards


Samsung offers a rewards system for Samsung users who “purchase eligible products on Samsung.com and the Shop Samsung App. You can also earn points through other Samsung services such as Samsung Pay and the Galaxy Store.”


However, that rewards program is different in that it’s rewarding you mostly for purchasing Samsung products such as TVs and other gadgets. Or, similarly, it’s a great way for users to earn rewards when purchasing things like games via the Galaxy Store.


Aside from that, there isn’t really much fine print we could find regarding Samsung Pay Cash Back Awards. Samsung does suggest browsing their in-app deals page, however. This is the most relevant answer we could find:


“From the Home tab, tap the Deals tab, and then tap CASH BACK at the top of the page. Select your desired merchant, read the Terms and Conditions, and then tap EARN CASH BACK. Your purchase must be completed on your phone through the provided cash back link. You cannot add items to the cart on your phone, and then complete the purchase later on your computer or another device.” Here is the link to the complete answer from Samsung.
