[Posted this a few minutes ago. Reposting with a second 1,000 targeted offer which is working for some. Reposting on 11/7 since readers note there’s a third way to earn 1k points.]
The Offer
Lots of people are seeing the following offers on their Samsung devices:
- Get 1,000 Samsung Rewards points when you change the default browser on your Samsung device to the native Samsung Internet browser
- Get 1,000 Samsung Rewards points for adding a card to Samsung Pay within the Samsung Internet browser (not in the app).
- Get 1,000 Samsung Rewards points for signing up to enable online doctor visits (you don’t have to actually do the visit, just register for it)
The first offer seems to be showing for everyone. The second offer seems more YMMV – it’s working for some people even those who already had a card added. The third offer was mentioned by a couple of readers; by signing up for online doctor visits you’ll get 1,000 points.
To enroll in Online Doctor Visits go to Samsung Pay > Promotions > Samsung Health > Enroll Now.
Here’s how change your browser to Samsung Internet:
- Open Samsung Internet (the browser pre-installed on your phone)
- Tap on the three dots menu icon on the top right of the screen
- Select Samsung Rewards (make sure you are logged into your Samsung Pay account)
- Follow directions to make Samsung Internet your default browser
- 1,000 Points should then be applied to your account instantly
The Fine Print
- You may need to update the app to the latest version in order to replicate the offer
- It will not work if you already have Samsung Internet as your default browser. In this case, download another browser (like chrome), make that your default browser, and try the steps again.
Our Verdict
Points are worth .5 cents each, making these deals worth $15. Of course, you can always switch back your default browser to whichever you want.

Anyone else just hanging at the "Processing your enrollment" for the samsung health?
I have the get 1k points for adding a card in samsung internet offer and I added a card but it's not giving me the points. Any ideas?
Here's a DP.
Try using a new card, save your complete card info (add address) from within the Samsung Internet Browser (use new version as someone mentioned above). This method worked on one account and phone.
Alternatively, you can try to remove an old card from the Samsung Pay and re-try saving from the browser. This method worked on a different account and phone.
The offer I have on my promotions page is the doc 1k points. Anyone else missing the browser offer and know a way around?
Look in the browser itself. It has offers listed there.
My points still haven't posted. My wife's phone posted her points though.
I did all 3 but points didn't post. Anyone know how long it takes?
FYI: if your points don't post, call this number and select option 2: 844-726-7297. They can open a dispute and have the points added manually.
Did they give you your points when you did the dispute? I opened one yesterday and it doesn't seem hopeful as they have to "investigate" lol.
The CSR said it would be added in a day or two.
Did they ask for your phone IMEI?
I just got an email from Samsung saying they were continuing to investigate why the points hadn't posted. Will continue updating as the process continues.
Yes they did ask for my IMEI. I will update here with the results..
Awesome, I love this website. It has made me $2000 in bank bonuses and 2000 Samsung points plus other miles and points.
Thank you Doctor of Credit.
Glad to be able to help
Welcome :)
Awesome, now when to use the rewards card when I don't have MSR to meet...

If you are not able to get this to work try this version of "Samsung Internet":

Worked for me and I got both the offers on both my accounts.
Deal wouldn't work then I used this link and it worked! I nominate this for comment of the month......unless I now have a virus and my identity has been stolen....
WOW! This worked. Thanks!
Thanks Chuck DoC! Easy 2k + 1k (Sammy health) pts! Gotta love this company.
Don't have either offer on either of my accounts :(
I got the $10 Amazon gift card after making 3 purchases using mastercard on both my accounts earlier. Maybe that's why I don't have this one.
Never mind. See my comment below.
You can also just DL it from the Google Play store for S8/S8+ if you don't want sideload and bypass unknown installer in settings and get the latest version, not sure why its not avail in the Samsung app store.
On my Note 5 and S6, Google Play was giving me a different version.
