Samsung won’t honor their own free Tide offer as written
Bought a top-load washer from Samsung.com last month.
The product page clearly advertised a "FREE TIDE OFFER" — a free 4-month supply of Tide detergent. The offer terms right on the page said it was "redeemable through 7/30/2026" and that redemption instructions would be "sent via email following product purchase confirmation."
The email never came. So I contacted support to ask about it.
Their answer: the promotion "can only be applied once the return window expires" and the rep was "bound by company policy." They put that in writing.
Here's the problem — that condition is nowhere in the actual offer. Not on the product page, not in the footnote/fine print, not in the Terms of Sale, not in the return policy. Every published term ties redemption to a fixed date (7/30) and says it starts after purchase confirmation. There is no "wait until the return window closes" language anywhere.
So they advertised one set of terms, then invented a different rule after I paid. When I pushed back I got shuffled around — "escalated to a team,” and transfers that went nowhere.
Has anyone else run into this with a Samsung promo? Did you ever actually get the Tide coupon? Trying to figure out if this "return window" line is a real policy or just a way to stall until the offer expires.
