Samsung offering Pokemon GO avatar as new Summer of Galaxy reward

- July 10, 2020

Samsung's Summer of Galaxy promotion is in full swing as the company looks to entice customers who might be thinking about buying a 5G smartphone. It sells both mid-range and flagship 5G phones so there's something for everyone.

The promotion kicked off last week with incentives for a meal delivery service as well as Galaxy Store credit. The company is now giving away another incentive in the form of an exclusive Pokemon GO Avatar.

The incentives announced previously are also available. Anyone who buys a Galaxy S20 5G series handset, the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G or the Galaxy A71 5G in the United States through the end of July will get a free one-year subscription to Postmates Unlimited. This service costs $99 per year and provides free delivery on a minimum basket size of $12. Samsung is also giving away $25 in Postmates credit as well as $50 Galaxy Store credit.

The reward that it's giving away this week is an exclusive Pokemon Go avatar set that has its matching tie dye shirt and hat. This tie dye outfit is available exclusively through Samsung's Summer of Galaxy promotion.

Pokemon Go players can unlock this hat and shirt in the game by redeeming a special code in the Summer of Galaxy Owner Rewards Portal. They will then need to visit Niantic's Redemption portal to unlock the avatar set. This exclusive Pokemon Go avatar will be available starting July 13.

There's more to come in this promotion. Samsung has previously said that the Summer of Galaxy is going to bring rewards from Xbox Game Studios, Epic Games and Netflix.
