Damyang County in Jeollanam-do (Governor Lee Byungno) announced on the 6th that it plans to change the benefits of the card-type Damyang Sarang Gift Certificate, which has been sold with a 10% upfront discount, to a cashback system that is refunded after payment, starting in March.

After charging at face value, 10% is accumulated with each payment, and the accumulated amount can be used like a gift certificate. However, the paper-type Damyang Sarang Gift Certificate will continue to be sold with a 10% upfront discount as before.

The card-type Damyang Sarang Gift Certificate can be charged up to 300,000 KRW per person per month, with a cashback accumulation limit of 30,000 KRW per month (10% of the charged amount). The accumulated amount can be used in the same way as the gift certificate, but to use the accumulated amount, the basic setting must be activated in the 'Local Gift Certificate Chak' app.

The remaining balance of gift certificates purchased with the upfront discount before March 1 can be used until it is exhausted, after which the cashback system will be applied.

A county official stated, "We have decided to change the sales method of the gift certificate in line with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's policy changes for the sale of local gift certificates to establish a sound economic order," and added, "We will do our best to minimize inconvenience to users due to the changes."
