Samsung has officially stopped production of the Galaxy Note 7 following the continued combustion reports of even replacement units. To further ensure the safety of the public, the company has begun offering financial incentives to Note 7 owners who still refuse to turn in their devices.

Starting Oct. 13 at 15:00ET, Samsung will be launching a new program to retrieve the remaining Note 7 units in the wild called Note 7 Refund & Exchange. It will offer up to a $100 bill credit for exchanging a Note 7 for “any Samsung smartphone” or $25 in credit to exchange a Note 7 “for a refund or other branded smartphone,” reports The Verge.

Clearly Samsung is rewarding customers who stick with the brand by offering higher credit and it should be an enticing enough offer for those who wish to continue enjoying many of Samsung’s smartphone features that was found on the Note 7.

The Korean company is also working in coordination with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission to facilitate the complete recall of all Note 7 devices. More details can be found in Samsung’s official press release.  Alfred Bayle
