Amazon’s Big Spring Sale Adds $100 Gift Cards to Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus

The gift-card offer gives unlocked buyers early savings that offset the S26’s $100 launch price hike.

Overview

  • Amazon’s Big Spring Sale includes a $100 Amazon gift card with unlocked Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus purchases, and the S26 Plus with Galaxy Buds 4 Pro bundle drops to $1,312 with the gift card still included.
  • The promotion applies to unlocked phones that work on any carrier, and it does not require a trade‑in or a new line.
  • The Galaxy S26 launched at $899 and the S26 Plus at $1,099, so the gift card effectively knocks the S26’s out‑of‑pocket cost close to $799 or covers basics like a case and screen protector.
  • Android Central recommends the offer for shoppers who want an unlocked phone or plan to buy accessories, while noting that carrier trade‑in deals may still cut the phone’s price more on the bill.
  • The phones only reached stores a couple of weeks ago, and early testing highlights strong battery life, a bright 120Hz display, fast performance, and new Galaxy AI tools, which help explain interest in an early retailer incentive.
