[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] Shinsegae Duty Free announced on the 30th that it will increase duty-free shopping benefits through discount and partnership events in October, including the 'Golden Week.'


October is the perfect time for overseas travel. The first week includes two public holidays, allowing for a 4-day vacation and a 10-day long holiday known as Golden Week. From the 11th, travelers will be able to visit Japan for free travel without a visa.


Shinsegae Duty Free will hold the Golden Week Festival from October 1 to 10. Participants in the quiz event will receive 1,000 Some Money usable on the online mall, and through a draw, 50 winners will receive Shinsegae gift certificates worth 30,000 KRW and 100 winners will receive Starbucks Cafe Americano. Offline store customers during the festival period will receive up to 20,000 KRW in additional Some Money.


Separately, throughout October, about 150 brands ranging from cosmetics such as Est?e Lauder, Jo Malone, La Mer, Foreo to watches and fashion will be discounted from 30% up to 90% on the online mall.


During October, customers who pay with SmilePay on the Shinsegae Duty Free online mall can choose one type of payment discount points equivalent to 10% of their purchase amount of 50,000 KRW, 100,000 KRW, 300,000 KRW, or 500,000 KRW, which corresponds to 5,000 KRW, 10,000 KRW, 30,000 KRW, or 50,000 KRW respectively.


SmilePay automatically accumulates 0.5% Smile Cash upon payment, with a maximum accumulation of 5,000 KRW per transaction. There is no limit to the number of accumulations. Additionally, when paying with a Smile Card, customers can receive benefits of 2% of the purchase amount accumulated as Smile Cash.


A foreign exchange rate compensation event is also underway. If the exchange rate is above 1,450 KRW, purchases ranging from 300 USD to 10,000 USD will be compensated from 90,000 KRW up to 3,200,000 KRW.



A Shinsegae Duty Free official said, "We have focused on duty-free shopping benefits such as discounts, quiz events, reward points, SmilePay payment discounts, and foreign exchange compensation events," adding, "We hope everyone checks all the benefits carefully and starts their overseas travel with enjoyable duty-free shopping."
