Yeonggwang Sarang Gift Certificates to Be Sold at 10% Discount Starting Next Year

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters reporter Lee Jeonseong] Jeollanam-do Yeonggwang-gun (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 30th that it will sell Yeonggwang Love Gift Certificates at a 10% discount, which is an additional 5% discount from the existing 5% discount, ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday to revitalize the local economy.

This special discount period is from January 1 to February 28 of next year, covering the month of the Lunar New Year holiday and the month before the holiday.

For paper-type gift certificates (Yeonggwang Love Gift Certificates), individuals can purchase up to 500,000 KRW per month at 32 financial institutions including local agricultural, livestock, credit unions, and Saemaeul Geumgo with only an ID and cash, enjoying a maximum discount benefit of 50,000 KRW per month.

For card-type gift certificates (Yeonggwang Love Card), after installing the integrated local currency app ‘Geurigo’ from the mobile phone app store and issuing a card, users can charge it and receive an additional incentive of up to 50,000 KRW within a monthly limit of 500,000 KRW.

Even after this special holiday discount ends, the county plans to promote the use of local stores, which have been depressed due to the spread of COVID-19, by providing a 10% special incentive on the Yeonggwang Love Card, the card-type gift certificate, from March until the end of the year within the budget limits.

However, for the paper-type gift certificates, the existing 5% discount rate will be maintained, but during the Chuseok holiday period in August to September, the discount will be expanded to 10%.

Governor Kim Junsung said, “Ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, we ask for the cooperation of residents and related organizations and groups so that they can benefit from the discount by using local gift certificates and help the local economy, which has been struggling due to COVID-19.”
