Suncheon Sarang Gift Certificate, Last 10% Special Discount on Card Type This Year

Special Discount on Paper Gift Certificates Ends, Card Type Sold at 10% Discount Until Budget Runs Out

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) is promoting a 10% special discount sale on card-type Suncheon Love Gift Certificates to revitalize the local economy, which has been stagnant due to COVID-19.

Since March, Suncheon City has been promoting a 10% special discount sale, and a total of 31 billion KRW worth of paper-type gift certificates have been sold. From the 24th, the special discount ended due to budget exhaustion, and it switched to a regular 5% discount sale.

The card-type gift certificates were launched on October 23 and about 400 million KRW have been sold so far. The 10% special discount will continue until a total of 5 billion KRW is sold.

The card-type Suncheon Love Gift Certificates can be issued online through the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation app ‘Local Gift Certificate Chak’ or by visiting NongHyup Bank branches (including local NongHyup, Livestock Cooperatives, WonHyup, NakHyup) within Suncheon City without an annual fee.

The purchase limit per person is the same as the paper-type gift certificates, 500,000 KRW per month. Normally, a 5% discount is available, and the 10% special discount will be offered until the end of this year.

Additionally, users of the card-type gift certificates can enjoy a 30% income deduction benefit.

When using the card-type Suncheon Love Gift Certificates at affiliated stores, the gift certificate balance is used first. If the amount exceeds the balance or if used at non-affiliated stores, for postpaid transportation cards, or outside the region, payment will be made from the linked check card account.

Affiliated stores where the card-type Suncheon Love Gift Certificates can be used can be checked by accessing ‘Local Gift Certificate Chak’.

A Suncheon City official said, “By providing an untact charging method in preparation for the post-COVID era, citizen convenience will be further enhanced, and through this, we expect the local economy to be revitalized.”
