Based on Product Views and Application Conversions

The credit card platform CardGorilla announced on the 30th that the "Samsung Card taptap O" was selected as the most popular credit card for the third quarter. It has claimed the top spot for the first time in seven years.

The rankings were determined based on the number of product views and application conversions for each credit card on the CardGorilla website, counted from July 1 to September 23.

Samsung Card taptap O reached first place for the first time in seven years since its launch in 2018. Cardholders can choose from a lifestyle package that includes Starbucks and other coffee shops, social commerce, trendy shops, and open markets to receive various benefits.

With discounts on public transportation, taxis, mobile phone bills, and movies, it is regarded as the representative card for young professionals just starting their careers. Last year, in response to growing overseas card demand, a 1.3% rewards benefit for international purchases was added.

The second place went to "Shinhan Card Mr.Life," known as the leading card for living expense discounts among people living alone. It provides benefits depending on the day and time of use.

For monthly utility bills such as electricity, city gas, and telecommunications, as well as convenience stores, hospitals, pharmacies, and laundromats, discounts are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

For online shopping, taxis, and food and beverage categories, benefits are offered for payments made between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. On weekends, discounts are also provided at the three major supermarkets and for fuel purchases.

The third place went to "KB Kookmin My WE:SH Card." It offers benefits such as the "Sincere to Myself Service" and the "Even More Sincere Service."

The "Even More Sincere Service" is customizable. Cardholders can choose to focus on food, leisure, or self-care. Discounts of 10% to 30% are available in categories such as KB Pay, restaurants, convenience stores, telecommunications, and online video services (OTT).

The fourth place went to "Samsung Card & Mileage Platinum (SKYPASS)." Cardholders earn 1 mile for every 1,000 won spent at all affiliated merchants.

The fifth place also went to Samsung Card. The taptap Digital Card entered the Gorilla Chart top 10 for the first time in three years. It mainly offers online discounts, including 50% off streaming services and 10% off simple payment transactions.

Ko Seunghoon, CEO of CardGorilla, said, "This quarter's rankings highlight both long-loved steady sellers and newly emerging cards for living expenses," adding, "Recently, many card companies have been launching a variety of cards, including series card lineups and new co-branded cards, so competition in the second half of the year is expected to intensify."
