Four months of YouTube Premium with S21 preorder

[MisterEd51]

The invoice for my S21 has: YouTube Premium – 4 Months Free

If I click on "Try YouTube Premium" on my S21 it only says two month trial. What is going on?

Note trial period would be from January 31, 2021 to March 31, 2021.

may i ask how one would use and sign up for youtube premium on a PC instead of the phone please?

samsung sent out no instructions regarding how one would activate this freebie!

It's for new members who haven't previously signed up for a promotion

what does youtube premium give you?

if we have Netflix, Amazon Prime, and the usual HBO and Showtime, does youtube premium give you something that those others do not?

I followed the instructions that Samsung has given but was only offered a two month trial. They said it was for new subscribers only. I am since I have never subscribed to YouTube Premium.

BTW, it says to log in but that is impossible because I am always logged into YouTube. I can't log out of YouTube because there is no option on YouTube to log out.

Open the YouTube app on your Samsung Galaxy device. Go to your account / profile and log in or create an account. Tap GET YOUTUBE PREMIUM. Select TRY IT FREE, complete sign up, and start streaming.

It's not a YouTube TV trial, it's YouTube premium. Means music in the background and ad-free music.

It looks like it has been an ongoing problem for a while now.

Where do I claim the free 4 months offer for YouTube Premium with my Galaxy S10? (3/23/19)

Ad free YouTube and YouTube music subscription. If you watch lot of YouTube then YouTube premium is a must IMO. And yes there are other ways to get YouTube ad free but with YouTube premium family all members of the family get YouTube ad free with their own accounts.

Is this only for first time premium users? I wish Samsung had stated that.

No commercials and YouTube music app, i have had it since it started as Google music. I came imagine YouTube with commercials.

The offer states it is for first time YouTube Premium subscribers. This includes first time for a YouTube Premium trial.

I know I have never had a subscription to YouTube Premium. It is possible that sometime in the past I clicked on a trial for YouTube Premium but don't remember it. Even if I did that and forgot about it then the paid subscription would have started when the trial ended. I know that never happened.

It's been always like this for every pre order. They state in fine print in the offer details if you look for it. But if you have YouTube premium or ever had a trial then this doesn't apply.

Obviously you can go create a new Google account and login in with that after which the offer will apply. If you want to do those things.

Yeah most likely that account probably used a trial sometime, that's the only explanation. I checked on my throw away Google account and does show 4 months trial.

Also you are in US right? Offer might differ in each country.

In YouTube app from your S21 go to the YouTube app settings by clicking on your account icon on top right and in there Get YouTube premium. I think first time when you open YouTube app it may not show the offer correctly. Just dismiss the current offer and try from settings and it should show the offer correctly if your account is eligible.
