3~10% Benefits Based on Payment Amount Per Transaction
BC Card announced on the 15th that it has launched the 'BC Baro MACAO (Macao) Card' to reduce consumers' household burdens amid high inflation and high interest rates.
The BC Baro Macao Card offers greater discounts as the payment amount increases in essential spending areas such as fuel and grocery shopping. It provides a 3-10% discount based on the payment amount per transaction at all domestic gas stations and electric vehicle charging stations. There is also a 3-10% discount in the mart and online shopping sectors. Additionally, if a customer makes more than five transactions of over 50,000 KRW each in the grocery sector per month, the monthly integrated discount limit can increase by up to 20,000 KRW depending on the previous month's performance.
The discount benefits also apply overseas. When issued as an international (Mastercard) card and used at overseas merchants, customers receive a 2% discount without conditions on the previous month's performance or discount limits.
BC Card explained that the card product name 'MACAO' was derived from the first letters of key essential spending keywords: mart, cart, and oil. The card plate features a material and design reminiscent of the 'tarpaulin bag,' which is commonly used as a shopping cart.
Kim Min-kwon, Executive Director of BC Card, stated, "Amid ongoing high interest rates and inflation, the BC Baro Macao Card will alleviate household burdens in the closely related areas of fuel and grocery shopping. We will continue to strengthen our card lineup with the top priority of maximizing consumer benefits."
