Through this special discount event, citizens can purchase gift certificates at a 20% discount, up to a maximum of 1 million won per person.

The certificates will be issued starting from the 29th and will be available for purchase until the allocated budget is exhausted. Previously, the city expanded sales of the certificates with a 15% discount rate in September, and as of September 14, they were sold out early. In response, the city plans to provide more tangible benefits this Chuseok season by increasing both the discount rate and the issuance volume.

The Sokcho Love Gift Certificates can be easily purchased through the 'Local Love Gift Certificate chak' mobile application. In addition, instant card issuance is available at designated financial institutions such as Nonghyup, Woori Bank, Shinhan Credit Union, Saemaeul Geumgo, and the post office. Currently, the certificates can be used at 4,128 affiliated stores throughout Sokcho City.

If the entire amount of the purchased certificates remains unused, a full refund is available within seven days. Partial refunds are allowed if more than 60% of the charged amount has been used. The certificates are valid for five years from the date of purchase.

A Sokcho City official stated, "This discount event is the largest ever in terms of both issuance volume and discount rate," adding, "We expect it to deliver real economic benefits that both citizens and small business owners can feel." The official also encouraged, "We hope more citizens will actively participate and enjoy these benefits."
