Samsung Launches US Credit Card with Barclays
Samsung is teaming up with Barclays to launch a new credit card called the Samsung Galaxy Card in the US.
This card will be part of Samsung Wallet, where you can apply for it, manage your account, and earn rewards.
You can get 5% cash back on Samsung purchases, 3% on purchases made through Samsung Wallet, 2% on streaming services like Netflix and Spotify, and 1% on everything else.
New users can also get a $200 bonus if they spend $2,000 in the first 90 days.

Samsung wants to use this to connect more with customers beyond just selling phones and TVs.
Barclays, the bank behind the card, is also trying to grow its business in the US by partnering with big companies like Samsung.
This move is also part of a bigger competition between Samsung and Apple in the digital payments world.
