Heres the Recall Deal Samsung Is Offering Note 7 Buyers
Samsung is offering credit to buyers of its Note 7 smartphone, which is being recalled amid reports the device can overheat and, in some cases, catch fire. Samsung is incentivizing buyers to stick around by offering 100 in credit to shoppers who replace the device with another Samsung model. Note 7 owners who pick a non-Samsung phone, meanwhile, will only get 25 in credit. Both offers are valid starting at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday. The funds, which come in the form of bill credits, are on top of the money customers will get for returning their Note 7 devices.
