With the next Samsung Unpacked<\/span>\u00a0event kicking off later this week, we only have a couple of days to wait before we see the upcoming\u00a0Galaxy S23<\/span>\u00a0smartphone lineup and an upgraded Galaxy Book. It also means that time is running out on Samsung’s preorder deal for early adopters with $100 in Samsung credit up for grabs for people who reserve the upcoming devices. This deal expires on Feb. 1, the date of Samsung’s event, so you don’t have long left to get in on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n Samsung fans in the US who reserve the latest devices before the Feb. 1 event will receive credit to spend at Samsung’s online store. You’ll get a $50 credit for reserving a next-gen Samsung phone or $50 for the next Galaxy Book to be unveiled. If you go for both devices, you’ll get the full $100 credit.<\/p>\n One catch: In the fine print at Samsung’s site<\/a><\/span>, the company says that the reservation credit cannot be applied to preordered devices and must be spent on additional products at the time of your preorder purchase. That means the $50 or $100 credit must be redeemed while you’re paying for your S23 or Galaxy Book against additional items like cases, chargers and the like, not the devices themselves. Any remaining credit not used at the time will be forfeited.\u00a0<\/p>\n To be eligible for the free credit promotion, all you need to do is submit your name and email address at Samsung’s reservation site<\/a><\/span>. When preorders go live, presumably shortly after the Feb. 1 Unpacked event, you’ll be able to use the credit you receive. You’re not on the hook to buy the devices even if you reserve them ahead of the event, so it’s worth signing up for the promotion even if you’re on the fence about getting the next flagship from Samsung.<\/p>\n Set price alerts on your favorite models with the CNET Shopping extension and get notified when prices drop.<\/p>\n
