Introducing the First Starfield PLCC in the Industry
10% Discount on Spending at Starfield and Starfield City
On July 25, Shinhan Card announced that it has partnered with Starfield, a leading domestic multi-purpose shopping mall, to launch the 'Starfield Shinhan Card,' which is Starfield's first Private Label Credit Card (PLCC).
This product is combined with Starfield's membership. It offers various benefits focused on shopping and lifestyle, particularly at Starfield and major Shinsegae affiliates.
Users receive a 10% discount when using the card at Starfield locations (Hanam, Goyang, Anseong, Suwon, COEX Mall) and Starfield City branches (Wirye, Bucheon, Myeongji). The monthly discount limit is 20,000 won for previous month usage between 400,000 won and less than 800,000 won, 30,000 won for usage between 800,000 won and less than 1,200,000 won, and up to 40,000 won for usage of 1,200,000 won or more.
When using the card at major Shinsegae affiliates, a 5% discount is provided. This includes Shinsegae Department Store, discount stores (Traders, Emart, Electromart, No Brand), convenience stores (Emart24), online shopping platforms (SSG.com, Gmarket, Auction), Starbucks, Casamia, and more.
For lifestyle categories, a 5% discount is applied. This includes discounts at animal hospitals, cinemas (CGV, Megabox), delivery apps (Baedal Minjok, Ddaenggyeoyo), Olive Young, and the indoor sports theme park 'Smob' located within Starfield.
The discounts for Shinsegae affiliates and lifestyle categories are subject to a combined discount limit. For previous month usage between 400,000 won and less than 800,000 won, the limit is 10,000 won; for usage between 800,000 won and less than 1,200,000 won, it is 20,000 won; and for usage of 1,200,000 won or more, it is up to 30,000 won.
To celebrate the launch of the Starfield Shinhan Card, the two companies are holding events such as cashback offers and membership-exclusive discount coupons.
Until August 31, users who spend 50,000 won or more with the Starfield Shinhan Card at Starfield can receive up to 140,000 won cashback depending on their total spending.
New members who have not held a Shinhan personal credit card in the 12 months prior to the event month will receive 50,000 won, 70,000 won, 100,000 won, or 140,000 won cashback for spending 500,000 won, 1,000,000 won, 10,000,000 won, or 20,000,000 won or more, respectively.
Existing Shinhan Card users who have no prior Starfield Shinhan Card usage at Starfield will receive 30,000 won, 40,000 won, 70,000 won, or 100,000 won cashback for the same spending brackets.
In addition, until August 31, one 10% and one 7% membership-exclusive discount coupon, each providing up to 20,000 won discount, will be offered via the Starfield application. These membership-exclusive coupons will be provided monthly to Starfield Shinhan Card holders.
The annual fee for the Starfield Shinhan Card is 17,000 won for domestic use only and 20,000 won for international use (MasterCard). The card can be issued at Shinhan Card issuance desks located in five Starfield stores, via online QR codes at Starfield tenant stores, or through the Shinhan Card website.
