When purchasing gift certificates, a discount benefit of 10% is applied in Miryang City and 10 county areas, and at least 7% in other city areas.


The purchased local love gift certificates can be used at various offline affiliated stores by region, e-Gyeongnam Mall, city and county shopping malls, and public delivery apps.
