Jindo Arirang Gift Certificate, 10% Discount Sale for Chuseok

Available for Purchase at 18 Financial Institutions Including NongHyup and Livestock Cooperatives

[Jindo=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do, will offer a special 10% discount on Jindo Arirang gift certificates starting from the 22nd in celebration of the Chuseok holiday.

The local currency, Jindo Arirang gift certificates, can be purchased up to 700,000 KRW per month and 6,000,000 KRW per year per individual, combining both paper and card types. Merchant members can only purchase the card type at a discount.

Paper-type gift certificates can be purchased at 18 financial institutions within the area, including local agricultural, livestock, fisheries, credit cooperatives, forestry cooperatives, and Saemaeul Geumgo.

The card type can be issued and recharged through the ‘Local Gift Certificate Chak(chak) App’ or via local Nonghyup and Saemaeul Geumgo branches.

In particular, to revitalize the local economy, Jindo-gun has continuously implemented discounted sales of the gift certificates, with sales reaching approximately 20 billion KRW and redemptions about 18.5 billion KRW in the first half of this year, significantly contributing to the revitalization of the sluggish local economy.

Additionally, the county plans to crack down on suspicious merchants through resident reports and an integrated gift certificate management system to prevent illegal distribution of the Jindo Arirang gift certificates.

To prevent illegal distribution and improve budget efficiency, the proportion of discounted sales for card-type gift certificates will be gradually expanded.

A representative from the Jindo-gun Economic Marketing Division stated, “Since Jindo Arirang gift certificates are issued to revitalize the local economy, we ask residents to take the lead in establishing a sound culture of gift certificate distribution.”
