About Emart/Traders South Korea
Emart is South Korea's largest hypermarket chain and part of the Shinsegae Group. For a Korean recipient, this is a card to a familiar nationwide store where they likely shop for groceries and household essentials. Traders is Emart's warehouse-style store, useful for buying in larger quantities. The card is a practical choice when you need to thank local employees, reward a team in Seoul or Busan, or pay earnings to someone who can visit a store.
The card is issued in South Korean won, with fixed face values of 10,000 KRW and 50,000 KRW. There is no option to set a custom amount, so your payout needs to fit one of those two values.
Recipients can use the card at most Emart and Traders stores across South Korea. It cannot be used at Emart Anyang, Emart Bucheon, or Emart Sihwa stores, so anyone based near those locations may find it less convenient. The card has no stated expiry date, but the issuer's policies allow extension of unused vouchers in 93-day increments up to five years from the original issue date. Extension requests go through the inumber customer center.
Points and partner card discounts are applied according to each store's policy, so the card does not guarantee access to loyalty benefits. After the original expiry date, recipients can request a refund by calling the inumber customer center, within five years of the issue date. The exact refund amount is not stated in the public terms.
GIFQ sends this card to your recipients in South Korea through a bulk dashboard order or one at a time via API. It suits sending a set of thank-you cards to a Korean customer list, paying research participants who can shop in person, or giving employee rewards that feel like a practical grocery allowance rather than a generic voucher.
This card is specific to South Korea. It cannot be redeemed in other countries or transferred to a different market's card.
From product selection to delivery
For a direct order, your business chooses this product, its value and the quantity. Review the card details alongside the recipient’s needs before including it in a bulk order or an integration.
Check the market and value
The card details show the values and currency for this product. Use those to choose an amount that fits your budget and the recipient’s market. For a different country, explore the brand’s other market listings.
Prepare the recipient’s instructions
Use the brand’s instructions to prepare a clear handover to the recipient, including any account or redemption-channel requirements. Ask our team about expiry if it is not listed, then include that information with the reward.
Choose direct ordering or recipient choice
If you need this particular card, order the selected product and value through the dashboard or API. If you want the person to choose the brand, confirm the options available for that payout before presenting the selection.
Start with a small order
Test the flow with a small order and keep its reference. Check the status before repeating a request that appears delayed. In an integration, connect the GIFQ order to your own record so your team can follow up on delivery questions.

What face values are available for this card in South Korea?
