Club Samsung services to be discontinued from July 10

by Chetan Saxena on June 8, 2015 in App updates, News

Remember “Club Samsung”? No, well it was an online service which used to come bundled with Samsung phones (as an app) sometimes back. By signing up to Club Samsung in the device, users could avail many benefits and offers (usually free downloadable premium content like music, movies etc) available according to the region. Samsung is now sending an email to those users who have ever signed up for Club Samsung services in the past. This email is actually a termination notice by Samsung stating that the Club Samsung services will no longer be available from July 10 onwards. Which means if you have Club Samsung app in your phone, it will not work after the specified date. Also the app will be removed from Samsung App store as well.

This is not a new or surprising move from Samsung, in fact phone makers continue to experiment with such services by introducing new ones and/or terminating older ones. Here is the full email we received yesterday –
