Seoul city officials are offering shoppers an opportunity to save up to 15% on everyday purchases during a shopping festival. Starting from October 29th and running until November 15th, residents can enjoy additional cashback on local gift certificates issued by the metropolitan and district governments.
The extra 5% cashback, combined with the existing 5% discount on eligible certificates and other cashback offers, could result in savings equivalent to 15% of the total purchase amount. For instance, if a shopper buys 100,000 won worth of gift certificates at a 5% discount, paying 95,000 won, they could receive an additional 10,000 won in cashback if both the existing and the new 5% offers are applicable to the 100,000 won purchase.
The promotion applies to 78 types of certificates issued by Seoul and its 25 districts, encompassing both older and newer versions. Consequently, residents could enjoy the extra cashback whether they use older or newer gift certificates during this promotional period.
