Samsung TV Transfer Portal: Get $50 Venmo to find a better watch party

If you’re stuck watching the national championships on a screen that has seen better days, Samsung has a very fun escape plan for you. The brand recently launched its first TV Transfer portal, which is basically a bribe to get you into a watch party with better TV.

From 4PM to 9PM ET on January 19th, you can “move” out of poor viewing conditions. If you’re among the first 900 people to DM @SamsungUS on Instagram or X with a photo of your current non-Samsung setup and your Venmo handle, they’ll send you $50 for a rideshare to a party that actually has a Samsung TV.

Here’s the fine print:

• This should be an actual photo of a non-Samsung TV in a home setting. Stock or AI photos will get you instantly disqualified.

• Commercial locations like bars or public places do not count (this is for home setups only).

• You can only sign in once per person/Venmo account, but up to three different people can gather in the same household or party.

• If you’re one of the lucky 900, the money should arrive in your Venmo on or around January 20th.

If you want to be the host with a better setup so your guests don’t leave you, Samsung is also offering up to 50% off select TVs through February 8.
