[Asia Economy Reporter Ki Ha-young] As the proportion of single-person households in Korea approaches 30%, Samsung Card for single-person households is gaining attention. Samsung Card taptap I offers both lifestyle-related discounts and travel benefits such as airport lounge access.
According to Samsung Card on the 10th, taptap I is a product that reflects the single life consumption trend of not sparing spending on oneself. With one card, users can freely switch between daily life and leisure benefits.
Every month, through the Samsung Card taptap application, users can switch between the 'Daily Package,' which consists of lifestyle-related services, and the 'Leisure Package,' which consists of travel-specialized services. Additionally, users can access over 800 airport lounges worldwide without a separate PP card.
The leisure package includes various specialized benefits related to domestic and international travel. It offers free access to over 800 airport lounges worldwide (3 times per year), and through the Master Platinum service, users can also enjoy free access to domestic Sky Hub Lounges and Asia Lounges (2 times per year). Furthermore, when paying 30,000 KRW or more on railways including KTX and SRT, users receive a 5,000 KRW discount on the payment date (twice a month), and a 3% discount on the payment date (up to 10,000 KRW per month) is provided for overseas merchants, overseas direct purchases, and travel-related industries. For domestic-only cards, leisure package benefits excluding overseas usage benefits are available.
The daily package offers benefits in lifestyle sectors frequently used by single-person households. Users can enjoy a 30% discount on the payment date at top 10 coffee shops including Starbucks and Paris Baguette; a 20% discount at Saint Augustin, Baljae Banjeom, and fresh food delivery service Baemin Fresh; a 3% discount on supermarkets, online shopping, premium outlets, and laundry services (each up to 10,000 KRW per month); a 6,000 KRW discount on payments of 6,000 KRW or more at all movie theaters; a 10,000 KRW discount on payments of 50,000 KRW or more at offline bookstores, Interpark performance ticketing, and animal hospitals (each once a month, six times a year); and a 3% discount with no limit on payment date at the premium wooden furniture company 'Kareklint.'
In addition to the leisure and daily packages, Master Platinum services include discounts on F&B and rooms at domestic luxury hotels, overseas car rental discounts, and free nationwide Megabox Master Combo sets. The annual fee is 49,000 KRW, and applications can be made through the Samsung Card website and the taptap app.
