'Jeongeup Sarang Gift Certificate' 10% Special Discount from April to June

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk announced on the 26th that it will further expand the special discount on the ‘Jeongeup Love Gift Certificate,’ which was applied to revitalize the local economy weakened by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, to 10%.

The city decided to increase the discount rate, which was originally 6%, to 8% this month and further to 10% for three months starting next month.

The gift certificates can be purchased at local agricultural and livestock cooperatives, Jeonbuk Bank, Saemaeul Geumgo, the Forestry Cooperative, and credit unions.

To prevent illegal distribution of the gift certificates, the purchase limit is set at no more than 700,000 KRW per person per month.

The city has recruited about 2,400 affiliated stores, including restaurants, marts, beauty salons, academies, hospitals, and gas stations, and regularly posts them on the city’s website to ensure convenience for users.

Affiliated stores are recruited year-round, but large-scale stores, entertainment bars, and gambling establishments cannot register. Applications can be made at the city hall’s Regional Economy Division or the town and township community centers.

Ahead of the launch of the mobile Jeongeup Love Gift Certificate on the 6th of next month, the city is distributing QR codes to affiliated stores and plans to distribute them to all stores before the launch to ensure smooth usage.

A city official said, “We plan to activate the mobile gift certificate, which can be conveniently used not only by young people but also by all local residents, to promote sound consumption and contribute to increasing sales of small business owners.”
