The general discount rate for the gift certificate is 7%, and from the start of sales (January 17, 2020, 10 AM) until the special sales of 1 billion KRW are sold out, gift certificates can be purchased at a 10% discount, which is expected to provide many benefits to residents during the Lunar New Year holiday.


Additionally, Eunpyeong-gu selected Yeonseo Market as a pilot market for the Eunpyeong Love Gift Certificate and will hold the event '(Install the app! Use the gift certificate! Receive prizes!)' starting from the 20th.


By installing apps such as Check Pay and Moneytree, users will receive a 3,000 KRW market gift certificate, and if they purchase goods with the Eunpyeong Love Gift Certificate and verify it, they can participate in a roulette event to receive additional market gift certificates worth up to 30,000 KRW.


The gift certificates can be used at about 6,000 Zero Pay affiliated stores within Eunpyeong-gu, excluding large stores such as department stores, outlets, large marts, large corporations, and some luxury and entertainment establishments.


Individuals can purchase up to 500,000 KRW per month, while corporations have no purchase limit but are not eligible for discounts.
