Samsung has officially unveiled its new credit card, the Galaxy Card, designed to reward loyal customers with generous cashback and seamless integration with Samsung Wallet. Issued by Barclays and operating on the Visa network, the physical card is made of metal with a matte black finish and a Samsung logo across the front. Applications open to the general public today, July 22.
Up to 5% cashback on Samsung purchases
The standout feature of the Galaxy Card is its tiered cashback structure. Cardholders earn 5% cashback on all purchases made directly from Samsung, including Galaxy devices such as smartphones, tablets, and wearables. An additional 3% cashback is awarded for transactions via Samsung Wallet, while streaming services qualify for 2% cashback. All other purchases earn a solid 1% back. Samsung also offers a 20% discount on the Samsung VIP Advantage annual membership, which includes Care+, boosted rewards at Samsung.com, early access to new products, and other exclusive perks.

Metal design and Samsung Wallet integration
The Galaxy Card is crafted from metal, giving it a premium feel. It integrates deeply with Samsung Wallet, allowing users to store it alongside other cards, IDs, passes, digital keys, and more. Samsung emphasizes security through its Knox platform, which provides on-device defense-grade protection. While the card works with Samsung Wallet out of the box, Samsung has not detailed additional features beyond a standard linked credit card.

Availability and launch
Applications for the Galaxy Card open today, July 22, for U.S. residents initially. The card is issued by Barclays and runs on Visa, ensuring widespread acceptance. Samsung plans to expand to other markets in the coming months. The launch comes as tech giants increasingly enter the financial services space; for instance, Apple has its own credit card with cashback. The move is seen as a strategy to deepen customer loyalty and boost direct sales. For background on Samsung, see the Wikipedia entry for Samsung.
