In addition, the individual holding limit per person will be lowered from 1 million won to 700,000 won. The purchase discount rate will remain unchanged at 12%.

This measure aims to enhance user convenience and distribution management efficiency in response to the increased use of mobile gift certificates, as well as to prevent illegal distribution. It also seeks to provide a fairer purchasing opportunity for more county residents.

The start time for mobile gift certificate sales will also be changed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to alleviate initial congestion from simultaneous access at the start of sales and ensure stable operations.

A county official stated, "This change in the operating method is intended to strengthen a virtuous cycle in the local economy, as well as to increase the transparency and efficiency of the gift certificate system. We ask for the understanding and cooperation of all residents."

The revised operating standards will be applied from May 1. For more details, please visit the county office website or contact the Regional Economy Team of the Job & Economy Department.
