Haenam County in South Jeolla Province is offering additional cashback benefits for users of the Haenam Love Gift Certificates in conjunction with the nationwide consumption promotion event, the 2026 Korea Grand Festival.
Starting October 29 and running until November 15, Haenam County announced on October 28 that users of the Haenam Love Card and QR gift certificates will receive an additional 5% cashback on top of existing benefits.
This initiative aims to stimulate local consumption, boost sales for small businesses, and revitalize neighborhood economies.
Currently, the Haenam Love Gift Certificates are sold at a 10% discount, with a 3% cashback on card and QR payments. With the additional 5% cashback during the event, users can receive a total benefit of up to 18%.
The additional cashback is separate from the existing monthly limit of 100,000 won for the 3% cashback. During the event, users will receive 5% cashback on card and QR payments, with a maximum payout of 100,000 won per person.
However, to receive the full 100,000 won in additional cashback, users must spend 2 million won during the event period. The actual benefits received may vary based on the gift certificate purchase limit, remaining balance, and payment conditions.
Cashback applies to amounts purchased or recharged by the user, as well as gift certificates received as gifts. Payments made with policy allowances or previously received cashback are excluded from eligibility.
Additionally, if the event budget is exhausted, the additional cashback may end before the scheduled conclusion date, so users are advised to check the status.
Haenam County will continue to offer a 10% discount on Haenam Love Gift Certificates in November.
The monthly combined purchase limit is set at 500,000 won per person, with a maximum of 200,000 won available for discounted paper gift certificates. Users can benefit from both the 10% discount on purchases and cashback based on payment amounts for card and QR gift certificates.
This additional support is being implemented in conjunction with the Korea Grand Festival.
The Korea Grand Festival, taking place from October 29 to November 15, features discounts on agricultural, livestock, fishery products, and processed goods, as well as various consumer promotion programs in transportation, accommodation, and tourism sectors nationwide.
A co-prosperity lottery event will also be held based on digital Onnuri gift certificate payment performance. According to Haenam County, a total of 5,600 people will receive digital Onnuri gift certificates worth 1.7 billion won.
Haenam County expects that this additional cashback support will reduce the consumption burden on residents while expanding the use of local affiliated stores.
Yoon Young-rok, head of the Haenam County Public Relations Team, stated, "We hope many residents will participate in the 5% additional cashback event for card and QR users during the Korea Grand Festival and enjoy the benefits. We also expect it will help revitalize the local economy."
Meanwhile, the additional cashback event for Haenam Love Gift Certificates will run from October 29 to November 15, and may end early if the budget is exhausted. Users should check the purchase and recharge limits for gift certificates, as well as the eligibility criteria for cashback based on payment methods.
