Best Buy is kicking off the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE with an easy perk: when you buy the phone online, a $100 Best Buy e-gift card will be automatically added to your cart. Since that unlocked model starts at $650, that “free” sweetener effectively shaves down your out-of-pocket price and helps pay for the accessories you’ll want on day one.
How to grab the $100 Best Buy bonus with your purchase
- Add the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE to your Best Buy cart (unlocked and carrier choices available). You should notice that a $100 Best Buy e-gift card is added to your cart automatically prior to checkout.
- Proceed with purchasing like normal. Promotional e-gift cards are usually issued the next day and delivered via email directly; if included with the shipping confirmation email, they will be sent after order shipment. Signing in to your account keeps everything in one place.
- Anticipate the usual promo limits: typically one gift card per phone, not combinable with other gift card offers, and while supplies last. Best Buy gift cards never expire and there are no fees, so you can keep a remaining balance for future purchases if you prefer.
- A one-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership is included in some packages as well. If gaming perks are important to you, look for that callout on the product page.
What you get in the Galaxy S25 FE phone package
The S25 FE hits Samsung’s “fan edition” sweet spot: flagship-grade hardware at a more palatable price. It’s powered by an Exynos 2400–tuned system on a chip (SoC) geared to have higher CPU clock speeds compared with the previous FE, plus you get a larger 4,900mAh battery under the hood. The payoff is zippier performance for multitasking and more runway between need-to-charge sessions, along with faster top-ups.
Despite the increased battery size, the phone sheds mass and thickness compared with its predecessor FE—about 23 grams lighter and just under 0.6mm slimmer—so you can actually keep it in one hand for a longer time without running out of gas.
Its design sticks to Samsung’s aluminum and glass theme with durability that’s IP-rated, so it looks suitably premium at the price tier.
On the software side, Galaxy AI features are what give the cameras and apps more power. Now, Brief can bring forward helpful day-planning suggestions from your calendar and routines, while generative editing tools allow photos to be cleaned up by taking distractions away and sounds in videos to be softened or erased altogether. A 12MP front-facing camera is good for solid selfies and video calling, supported by rear sensors that are tuned to all-rounder photo capture.
Analysts at IDC have also observed that mid-premium devices — which bring high-end experiences down a tier in cost — are gaining more believers as average selling prices continue to climb. The FE series inhabits exactly that lane, serving up a modern chipset, long battery life, and Samsung’s commitment to upgrading software long-term — minus the flagship sticker shock.
Deal math: what the gift card is worth to you
Based on a $650 unlocked S25 FE, its $100 e-gift card brings an effective 15% giveback. You don’t pocket that as instant savings, but store credit is frequently just as useful if you have to factor in necessary add-ons. If you were already in the market for the phone, the freebie is easy value.
It can also stack nicely with trade-in credit or carrier activation savings—where available. Just double-check before checkout that your gift card is still in your cart, along with any trade-in or activation offers. The goal is to claim the e-gift card line item before you cough up the cash.
Best ways to spend the $100 on useful accessories
- Pick up a more powerful USB-C charger and a matching cable for Samsung’s speedier charging, as well as a tempered-glass screen protector and a case that has been drop tested—frequently your most cost-effective insurance against damage to any new device.
- Include a wireless charging stand for a desk or side table that can top up power in spurts during the workday.
- Think about audio and gaming extras, such as true wireless earbuds like Galaxy Buds 3 for calls and media, or a Bluetooth game controller (in lieu of buying an Xbox One S) should you use that Game Pass trial.
Quick things to consider before you decide
- Make sure the S25 FE configuration (storage, color, and carrier) and the $100 e-gift card show in your cart.
- Consider a trade-in of your current phone; when you stack that with the gift card, the effective price can go way down.
- Double-check fulfillment timing. Promotional gift cards are issued 30 days after the order is placed, and for accessory-only orders you will receive the gift card once your product has shipped.
Bottom line: If you’re in the market for the Galaxy S25 FE, this Best Buy promotion is an easy way to get a little extra bang for your buck. You’re getting Samsung’s newest FE hardware, a solid credit for essentials, and—if you can get it—a month of Game Pass to take cloud gaming for a spin on your new phone.
