When Samsung’s Note 7 troubles first started, it offered users $25 – in addition to a device exchange – for all the turmoil. But as users started switching to other brands instead, it seems the company realized it might have to offer users a bit more incentive to to stay on the Galaxy platform now that the Note 7 has been discontinued altogether.
The company today announced that starting 3 PM ET, customers can return their devices and receive “up to a $100 total bill credit” for customers exchanging their Note 7 for any Samsung smartphone. If you already recieved $25 from the initial recall – Samsung will give your extra $75.
If you switch to another brand though, you’re stuck with 25 bucks. Womp.
To be clear, the $100 credit is in addition to a refund for the price difference between the Note 7 and other Samsung phones, as well as any respective accessories at the time of purchase.
