D. Earning Points through Purchase of Select Samsung Products

Samsung will offer Points for purchase of select products through Samsung.com/ph as identified on the product detail page (alongside the number of points available to be earned), herein a “Qualified Product.” (The standard rate used to determine the Points received for purchasing a Qualified Product is 0.01 Points for each PHP 1.00 spent).

The list of products deemed to be Qualified Products is subject to change, although a reasonable range of Qualified Products will be offered while the Samsung Rewards Program is active. Products purchased under a leasing arrangement (including mobile devices sold with a SIM contract) are not Qualified Products and are neither eligible for earning points, or for redeeming points under Section F of these Terms.

Participant will earn Points as follows:

i.	Participants must be logged into their Samsung Account during purchase check out of a Qualified Product(s).
ii.	Participants will receive Points based upon the final cost paid at check out (whether paid-in-full or approved for Samsung or other financing) of Qualified Product(s). The final cost will be calculated after all discounts, including use of Points to purchase, coupons, promo codes and gift certificates have been redeemed. The number of Points that will be earned will be displayed after check out.
iii.	Points will be credited to Participants’ Rewards Accounts once applicable return periods have lapsed after delivery, or where applicable after chargebacks are complete.
iv.	If a Participant is not logged into their Samsung Account during the purchase process for a Qualified Product, then the Participant forfeits the ability to request Points at a later time.
v.	If a Qualifying Purchase is returned for any reason after Points have been credited, Samsung reserves the right to deduct the corresponding Points from Participant’s Rewards Account.

Earning Points through other Special Offers: Samsung may also offer Points through promotional offers to some or all Participants for limited time periods. These offers may be communicated through the Samsung Members App and other Samsung touch points such as Samsung.com. Each offer will provide details and terms including how to participate and other limitations or restrictions. Samsung may notify eligible Participants with this special opportunity through push notifications and/or to the email address associated with their Samsung Account.

E. Point Value, Forfeiture of Points, & Viewing Points

Tier Status. Participants may earn Points and Program benefits based on the Participant’s achieved Samsung Account Tier Status. There are three (3) Tiers: Blue, Gold and Platinum. Participant’s Tier Status will be calculated based on the total spend on Qualifying Purchases made within the last 24-month period, as set forth in the table below.

Tier	Cumulative Spend on Qualifying Purchases within 24 Months	Tier Benefits
Blue	Below ₱120,000	• Earn 1% back in Points on any Qualifying Purchase • Enjoy Blue Tier promotional benefits, as advertised
Gold	₱120,000 ~ ₱189,999	• Earn 2% back in Points on any Qualifying Purchase • Enjoy Gold Tier special/promotional benefits, as advertised
Platinum	₱190,000 or higher	• Earn 3% back in Points on any Qualifying Purchase • Enjoy Platinum Tier special/promotional benefits, as advertised

2.	Participant can achieve a Tier Status at any point by spending the required cumulative amount on qualifying purchases as set forth in the table above. That Tier Status will remain in effect as the minimum Tier Status for the following 24 months from the date the Tier Status is assigned in accordance with the Tier Assignment Frequency. Participants must requalify for Tier Status at the cessation of the 24 month period. Participant’s Tier Status is based on the highest qualifying Tier for which the Participant qualifies. For example: If a Participant reaches Php 120,000 cumulative spend on 1 January 2025, the Participant will be assigned a Gold Tier Status on 10 February 2025 and will maintain such Tier Status for the next 24 months until 9 February 2027 (unless a higher Tier is achieved). Where a higher Tier Status is achieved during a 24 month period, a new 24 month period will commence from the date that the higher Tier Status is assigned in accordance with the Tier Assignment Frequency. The Participant’s Tier Status at the conclusion of a 24 month period will be re-determined based on the cumulative spend in that 24 month period.
3.	Tier Assignment Frequency: The Tier Status evaluation period closes on the last day of each month at 23:59.59 (PhST) (Monthly Evaluation Period). If the Participant has achieved a new Tier Status by the Monthly Evaluation Period, the Participant’s Tier Status will be assigned or adjusted on or around the 10th day of the following month.
4.	Bonus Points: Samsung may from time to time offer bonus Points promotions. Any changes to Points earn or redemption rates will be detailed in the terms and conditions of the relevant promotion.

As such, Points are not redeemable for cash, transferable or assignable for any reason, Accordingly, Points are not transferable upon death, as part of a domestic relations matter or otherwise by operation of law.

I. Points Conversion and Transfer

Points Transfer – Eligibility and Availability

Where a Participant has accrued Rewards Points in multiple countries, these sit within separate Rewards Accounts for each country, each overseen by the Samsung Electronics subsidiary which operates Samsung Rewards Program in that country.

Participants may transfer Rewards Points from one Samsung Rewards Program to another (a “Transfer”). In order to use the Transfer feature, Participants must

i.	Have registered two (2) active Samsung Rewards Accounts: a Sending Account in one Samsung Rewards Program from which the points are being transferred, and a Recipient Account in another Samsung Rewards Program to which the points are being transferred.
ii.	Have registered the Sending Account and Recipient Account to the same Samsung Account.
iii.	Have at least one (1) Rewards Point in the Sending Account.

These Terms apply to any Transfer from any Rewards Program outside the PHILIPPINES.

Participants can only transfer Rewards Points between their own Rewards Accounts. It is not possible to send Points to or receive Points from another person or Samsung Account.

Participants can request Transfers in the Samsung.com My Page and Rewards Program home page for any Rewards Program in which they have a Rewards Account. Participants can also view their Samsung Rewards history, including details of previous Transfers, on these pages.

Conversion Methodology

a.	Samsung Rewards Points are worth different amounts for each Rewards Program. This reflects different Rewards Points earning and redemption rates and prices of Samsung’s products. Prior to any Transfer, the Rewards Points balance, and amount of points selected for transfer from the Sending Account, must first be converted into the equivalent Points value for the Recipient Account.
b.	The Rewards Points value conversion rate (the Conversion Rate) for the proposed Transfer will be shown on screen, alongside the number of Rewards Points being transferred and starting and finishing account balances for both the Sending Account and Recipient Account. Participants are able to review the Conversion Rate and number of points to be credited to the Recipient Account before confirming the Transfer.
c.	Samsung determines the Conversion Rate at its own discretion, based on the average internal exchange rate used for the preceding month for the currencies used by the Sending Account and Recipient Account. Samsung reserves the right to update the Conversion Rates more frequently, or to adapt the methodology to reflect changing circumstances.
d.	If the calculation of the points value in the Recipient Account results in a fraction of a Rewards Point, then the value of the Transfer will be rounded to the nearest full Point.
e.	Transferred Points will be displayed in the Recipient Account in real-time. Participants should immediately contact customer service if a Transfer is unsuccessful, or they believe there has been an error in the Transfer calculation.

Miscellaneous

a.	Rewards Points subject to a Transfer retain the expiration date they held in the Sending Account.
b.	A request to transfer Rewards Points cannot be cancelled or withdrawn. However, it is possible to re-convert Points by requesting a reverse Transfer, subject to the restrictions on excessive or fraudulent Transfers set out in section [H.4] below.
c.	Participants are responsible for managing any personal tax liabilities or obligations arising from the transfer of Rewards Points.
d.	Samsung does not offer a currency exchange service. The Samsung Rewards Transfer feature is offered as convenience to Participants, enabling them to combine and spend points earned from multiple Samsung Electronics companies. For the avoidance of doubt, the Rewards Points Conversion Rate does not represent or reflect current market exchange rates.
e.	Each Samsung Rewards Program is subject to its own set of Terms. While the terms and conditions applying to the Transfer feature should be consistent, in the event of any discrepancy, the Terms applying to the Recipient Account shall take priority. For the avoidance of doubt, the same Conversion Rate is used for each pair of Rewards Programs.

Restrictions on Transfers

a.	Some Rewards Points may not be eligible for Transfer. For example, Rewards Points granted as part of a country-specific promotion or earning opportunity may be non-transferable. Any such restrictions will be explained on your Samsung Rewards Account page.
b.	Rewards Points Transfers are currently only available between Rewards Programs of participating Samsung entities.
c.	Samsung may restrict the transfer of Rewards Points between particular Samsung Rewards Programs on the basis of any legal requirements, in which case Samsung will notify you of the exclusions on the Samsung Rewards homepage.
d.	Participants may be prevented from requesting Transfers if Samsung has reason to suspect that a Transfer request, or any previous transfers, are fraudulent, or aimed at gaming the conversion rates to artificially increase the overall points balance and obtain a foreign exchange profit, rather than redeem the Points through the Recipient Account. Samsung may prevent a Participant from executing multiple International Samsung Rewards Transfers in a short period of time, including repeated small transfers and reversed transfers without any redemptions, as this may compromise the system or cause Samsung to incur significant costs.
