Card companies are launching events for college entrance exam (Suneung) test-takers. Although the marketing is not as grand as before, benefits are being offered in shopping, travel, and more.

Shinhan Card offers interest-free installment events at various affiliated stores for test-takers. In the online shopping sector, interest-free installments are available for 2 to 7 months; at all department stores and electronics affiliates such as LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics, 2 to 6 months of interest-free installments are provided. At major discount stores like E-Mart, all clothing and outdoor affiliates offer 2 to 3 months, duty-free shops, travel, and airline sectors provide 2 to 6 months, and hotels offer 3 months of interest-free installment services.

If you plan to engage in self-development between finishing the Suneung and entering school, using Shinhan Card’s 2 to 6 months interest-free installment service for academies can be a good option. When paying 50,000 won or more with a Shinhan credit card at event-affiliated stores by the 31st of next month, the interest-free installment will be automatically applied for the corresponding months.

For test-takers who have completed the Suneung, Lotte Card’s 'Like It All' check card is also useful as it offers cashback benefits at all affiliated stores. This card features unlimited 0.2% cashback at all domestic affiliates. If the previous month’s spending exceeds 300,000 won, an additional 0.2% cashback is provided on weekends and public holidays for one month.

Hana Card offers discounts on Lotte World tickets when purchasing an Adventure partnership card comprehensive pass, and a 63% discount on Seoul Land Park tickets. BC Card recently provides discounts of up to 3,000 won when paying at over 150 food and caf? specialty stores in the Euljiro area, which is popular among young people.
