Can I buy Samsung Care+ for a S26 phone I will buy from carrier or authorized retailer?

I was wondering if I can buy Samsung Care+ for a S26 that I wlll purchase from my carrier?

Carrier price for a S26 is less than $100, with trade-in of a S24. I know it is locked, but the price makes it a sweat deal.

Samsung Care+ Theft And Loss Question

Hello World! I am planning on purchasing the Samsung S26 Ultra from Amazon later this month. Going Amazon due to a payment plan structure that I like. But I have a question - if I buy it from Amazon, and as long as the shipper and seller is 100% Amazon, can I sign up here at the Samsung website for the Care+ Theft and Loss plan and still be able to get the full benefits of it? I think I read somewhere that it needed to be within 60 days of purchase, just wanna confirm. Thanks!

That is correct. Care+ needs to be obtained within 60 days of device purchase. See the FAQs for more info:

Do you trust them to be accurate though!

🤷 If Samsung puts out inaccurate info on their own website, it's on them to fix.

Thanks. I'm just trying to find the part where it says something about retailers and things like that.

It says "all eligible mobile devices," which includes those purchased from authorized retailers (directly from sellers such as Amazon or Best Buy, not random third parties).
