Point Cards - Department Stores    

Facebook Twitter
 

There are four major department stores in Korea: Gallaria, Hyundai Lotte and Shinsegae. Each store has its own point card. However, compared to other cards, the point saving ratio is very low. That said, they are worth having since many store promos are for card holders only. When a special event is open to the general public, the store’s ‘members’ may receive greater benefits than non-members.
