If you download the app in advance, sign up, and register your account or card, you can purchase the gift certificates more quickly and conveniently. Each person can buy up to 200,000 KRW per month, and including the amount already held, can possess up to 1,000,000 KRW. The usage period is 12 months from the purchase date, and unused gift certificates can be fully refunded. If more than 60% of the face value has been used, the remaining balance excluding the discount support fund will be refunded.

The Seocho Ttaenggyeoyo Gift Certificate is exclusively for the ‘Ttaenggyeoyo’ delivery app and can be used at various affiliated stores within the area, including Korean, Western, and Chinese restaurants, cafes, and franchises. Detailed usage locations can be checked on the Ttaenggyeoyo app, where entering the user’s address displays a list of restaurants available for delivery or takeout.

Mayor Jeon Seong-su said, “I hope this discounted issuance will help both small business owners struggling with high delivery commission fees and consumers. In a situation where consumption is shrinking due to high prices, I expect that the discounted local gift certificates will ease the burden of grocery prices for residents and lead to increased sales for small business owners.”
