Starting on the 29th, the government will return 10,000 won to people who order more than 20,000 won four times per time with a delivery app. This is to save the domestic economy, which has been contracted by the re-proliferation of Corona 19.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced on the 27th that only non-face-to-face orders and payments through a delivery app will be given the same refund benefit from 10 am on the 29th. The benefit is also when you visit a store and take food after placing an order or payment in the delivery app. However, if you eat out offline, make a face-to-face payment with a delivery man, or place an order or payment directly at the store, you cannot get a refund.
To receive refund support, you can apply on the card company’s website or app, then use the card to order and pay for a total of 4 times at least KRW 20,000 per time in a delivery app designated by the government. The amount is based on the final payment amount including delivery charges. If the conditions are met, you will receive a refund or a charge discount of 10,000 won from the credit card company next month. The limit recognized for performance is a maximum of two times a day for each card company. The simple payment of the delivery app is recognized as performance only when it is linked to the application card.
There are seven delivery apps that can receive refund benefits:’Delivery Express’,’Mokkebi’,’Delivery’s People’,’Yogiyo’,’Coupangitsu’,’WeMepoh’ and’PAYCO’. An official from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food said, “We will add’Ding Dung’,’Delivery of Myungsoo’,’Calling’ and’Calling Zero’ in the future.”
The government’s limit to orders and payments when eating out coupons are non-face-to-face is a measure conscious of COVID-19 quarantine and public opinion criticism.
The government offered discounts on online and offline dining out on August 14, but stopped it two days later on the 16th when the number of confirmed cases increased. A similar policy was implemented in October, and benefits were reaped after the’third pandemic’ occurred in mid-November. Before the suspension, 3.24 million people received a total of 2.9 billion won.
