[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Kakao Pay announced on the 3rd that it will offer users generous benefits worth over 100 million KRW every week throughout May through large-scale payment promotions such as the ‘GS25 15% Discount Coupon for Today Only,’ ‘Prize Card,’ and ‘Al Reward.’

First, on the 3rd only, the ‘GS25 15% Discount Coupon for Today Only’ will be provided. When using the coupon at GS25 convenience stores and paying with Kakao Pay Money for 1 KRW or more, users can receive a discount of up to 5,000 KRW. The coupon will be given to the first 500,000 users from 9 AM to midnight on the 3rd and can be used until midnight.

From the 12th, the ‘100 million KRW weekly’ promotion will run for three weeks.
