Samsung Galaxy Card is a Cashback Visa Credit Card

The Samsung Galaxy Card is a cashback Visa credit card introduced in the United States through Barclays on the Visa network. Integrated with Samsung Wallet, the card enables users to manage payments alongside digital IDs, keys, and passes within the company's ecosystem. It is available as both a virtual card and a premium metal physical card with no annual fee. Purchases made directly from Samsung earn 5% cashback, while transactions completed through Samsung Wallet receive 3% cashback. Eligible streaming subscriptions receive 2% cashback, and all other qualifying purchases earn 1% cashback. Samsung Knox security is integrated to help protect financial information on compatible Galaxy devices.

The credit card launches on July 22 with a promotional offer that provides a $200 cashback bonus for cardholders who spend $2,000 or more during the first 90 days. Additional benefits include a 20% discount on VIP Advantage, Samsung Membership, and the company's extended warranty program.
