"I recently checked and saw how I could get up to 99% off the new Samsung Galaxy A56 5G by using Samsung Rewards Points, and I still can't believe it.

"It was such an incredible feeling to see how all the points I had accumulated over time paid off. Samsung Rewards has been one of the reason to why I've been loyal to the brand, and it made the whole experience even more satisfying," he said.

"I have been a loyal Samsung user, starting with the Galaxy S series. And since the introduction of Samsung Pay and Samsung Rewards in 2017, I've been super proud to use these features.

"I'm currently at Platinum tier, and managed to earn 140k plus points (from 2023 until now)," he said.

Explaining further to SAYS, he said he relies on Samsung Pay, which can accumulate up to 2,000 points a month (equivalent to RM60). In a year, that adds up to RM720.

"Points only expire after three years, so you could accumulate RM2,160 points over this time period. You can use Samsung Pay anywhere that supports pay wave such as when shopping, paying parking fees, refuelling, or using vending machines — it's like having your credit or debit card stored in your phone.

"It's convenient and rewarding, with no minimum spend required. Additionally, when purchasing Samsung products, you can shop directly online via the Samsung official website or Samsung Shop app to earn more points," he shared.

Here's a breakdown of how the math works:

• Samsung Galaxy A56 5G promo price = RM1,999*
• 99% of the price covered by points = RM1,978.99 (65,966.34 points)
• 1% of the price covers in cash = RM20.01

To purchase the Samsung Galaxy A56 5G for RM20, you would need to redeem 65,966.34 Samsung Rewards Points. This means up to 99% of the phone's retail price can be paid for in points, woah!

You'll still get the same warranty, support, and delivery like any other purchase — the only difference is you're saving a few thousand ringgit. Not bad at all.

*RM1,999 is a promo price for the Samsung Galaxy A56 5G from now until 31 May.
