  "account": "Samsung has introduced a new feature called \"Samsung Wallet Perks\" in collaboration with Rakuten. This feature allows users to earn cash back rewards when shopping at thousands of US brands through the Samsung Wallet app. The cash back earned can be directly added to users' Samsung Cash Cards within the Wallet app. Users can then utilize their accumulated cash back for future purchases or even send money to friends. This new feature aims to simplify the process of managing multiple rewards cards, payment apps, and point-management programs, as users who frequently shop may find themselves juggling various rewards systems. Samsung Wallet Perks partners include well-known brands such as LEGO, Sephora, Expedia, PetSmart, Gap, and Lands' End.",
