Samsung has partnered with Coinbase to give Samsung Wallet users in the United States a free 3-month trial of the premium Coinbase One membership. During the trial, eligible users can trade crypto on Coinbase with $0 trading fees (spreads still apply), get priority 24/7 customer support, and access additional account and partner benefits. After three months, the plan auto-renews at the standard monthly price (commonly $29.99 in the US, subject to change) unless canceled.

- Priority 24/7 customer support with faster response times.
- Access to select partner perks and promos.
- Enhanced account features such as higher account limits and streamlined tax tools in supported regions.
- Staking and rewards features where legally available.
Who’s eligible
- US-based Samsung Wallet users aged 18+.

Limits and fine print
- Auto-renewal: After three months, the subscription renews at the standard monthly rate unless you cancel beforehand.
- Trading caps and exclusions: $0 fee trading may have monthly volume limits and may exclude certain assets, order types, or advanced features; spreads still apply.
- Compliance: You must pass identity and account checks. Coinbase may deny the offer if compliance requirements aren’t met.
- One-time use: Offer is typically restricted to first-time Coinbase One subscribers; you can’t stack multiple trials.
- Timing: The promo is available for a limited time and can end early or change without notice.
- Not financial advice: Crypto assets are volatile and risky; only invest what you can afford to lose. Taxes may apply to gains or rewards.
Why this partnership matters
- Frictionless onboarding: Samsung Wallet’s built-in promo flow lowers the barrier for Galaxy users curious about premium crypto trading.
- Cost savings for active traders: $0 trading fees (within limits) can materially reduce costs for users making frequent spot trades during the trial.
- Ecosystem play: Samsung continues to add utility to Wallet beyond payments and passes, while Coinbase gains exposure to a large, mobile-first audience.
Security and privacy
- Samsung Wallet security: Wallet data is protected by Samsung Knox, hardware-backed security, and biometric authentication. Payment and pass data are sandboxed and tokenized where applicable.
- Coinbase account safety: Enable strong 2FA, use unique passwords, and add withdrawal whitelists. Beware of phishing; Coinbase will never ask for your seed phrase or password via email or chat.
- Data sharing: Review permissions when redeeming the offer. Only share the minimum required personal information for KYC and promo activation.
Tips to maximize your trial
- Plan trades: Consolidate planned spot trades within the trial window to make the most of $0 trading fees.
- Start small: Test execution and spreads with small orders before scaling volume.
- Use support: If you hit limits or have questions, leverage priority support for faster resolution.
- Set alerts: Track market moves and set price alerts in-app to act efficiently during the trial.
- Mark your calendar: If you don’t want to continue, cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
If you meet the eligibility criteria and are comfortable with crypto’s risks, this is a practical, time-bound way to test-drive Coinbase One from your Galaxy device at no cost for three months.
