Samsung will pay you $50 to leave your non-Samsung watch party
Samsung has a pretty hilarious escape plan for you if you’re stuck watching the national championship on a screen that’s seen better days. The brand just launched its first-ever TV Transfer Portal, which is basically a bribe to get you to a watch party with a better TV.
On Jan. 19 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET, you can "transfer" out of a bad viewing situation. 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:

It has to be a real photo of a non-Samsung TV in a home setting. Stock or AI photos will get you disqualified immediately.
Commercial spots like bars or public spaces don't count (this is for home setups only).
You can only enter once per person/Venmo account, but a single household or party can have up to three different people submit.
If you're one of the lucky 900, the money should hit your Venmo on or around Jan. 20.
If you’d rather just be the host with the better setup so your guests don't ditch you, Samsung is also knocking up to 50% off select TVs through Feb. 8.
