Card fight between giants - Samsung vs. Hyundai
By Kwon Mee-yoo
Samsung Card is facing a triple whammy ― a boycott by customers, stores refusing to accept the card and a dispute and possible legal battle with one of its rivals.
It released the new Samsung Card 4 this month. It is the latest in their series in which the numbers indicate the benefits.
The benefits include 0.7 percent discount anywhere that accepts the card and payment plans that offer two or three months interest-free credit. It also gives a 1 percent additional discount for spending over 100,000 won and a 2,500 won discount at movie theaters.
