Samsung Card Launches Premium Product "THE iD. 1st"
Up to 150,000 Won Discount Gift Across Five Key Categories
3% Points Overseas, 1.5% for Daily Life, Shopping, and Leisure, 1% at Domestic Merchants
Samsung Card announced on the 20th that it has launched its new premium product, THE iD. 1st.
This product offers an annual discount gift of up to 150,000 won across five categories: department stores, travel, online shopping malls, golf, and hospitals.
If you spend 50,000 won or more per transaction in any of the five categories, you will receive a 50,000 won discount. The 50,000 won discount gift can be used up to three times per year, meaning the maximum benefit is 150,000 won.
There is also a point accumulation benefit with no cap. When using the card at domestic merchants, 1% of the transaction amount is accumulated as points with no limit.
The point accumulation rate is increased when using the card in special categories such as daily life, shopping, leisure, and overseas merchants.
You can earn 1.5% points for daily life (restaurants, convenience stores, coffee shops, hospitals), shopping (department stores, duty-free shops, premium outlets, online shopping malls), and leisure (airlines, performances), and 3% for overseas merchants. These special category benefits are also provided with no accumulation limit.
The card also offers airport lounge access and international brand services. Customers can use complimentary airport lounge services up to three times per year at domestic and international airports.
The number of complimentary uses is based on the number of people using the airport lounge. This includes both the cardholder and accompanying guests. Complimentary service is available for the cardholder and up to two accompanying guests.
Additionally, customers who receive the card as an international card (Mastercard) can enjoy international brand services of the Mastercard World level, including complimentary valet parking and food and beverage discounts at luxury hotels.
Details such as the previous month's usage requirements, eligible categories, and the number of benefit uses can be found on the Samsung Card website and application.
The annual fee is 150,000 won for both domestic-only and international (Mastercard) cards.
