Summary of Shinhan Lady Best Card Benefits
A comprehensive guide to the Shinhan Lady Best Card benefits, including gift options, hotel lounge access, and shopping discounts.
I am going to summarize the benefits of the Shinhan Lady Best Card.
I think I signed up for this card about 5 years ago...
I am a man, of course... but you can still join -_-; I mainly use it for my wife.
This is roughly what it looks like. I took this from the Shinhan Card website.
There is a Gift Option service, which is provided every year if you pay the KRW 200,000 annual fee, but they won’t give it to you unless you apply by phone. -_-;
1566-8357 (Weekdays Mon~Fri, 9 AM ~ 6 PM)
Options include a KRW 150,000 Lotte Department Store voucher, 3 brunch vouchers for one person, a KRW 150,000 JUNO HAIR voucher, or a KRW 180,000 LG voucher.
The Lotte Department Store voucher seems to be the best choice. lol
As for hotel brunches...
It’s like this.
Shinhan Points are roughly 1%... and SKYPASS mileage is 1 mile per KRW 1,500... which is decent.
For your reference, in terms of mileage (Korean Air), the ranking seems to be Hana Crossmile > Citi PremierMile > Lady Best.
The free drink service at hotel lounges... this is the real ‘honey’ benefit.
I’ll list the places I visit often... since this post is mostly for my own reference. -_-;
Lotte Hotel World (Main Building 1F Lounge), InterContinental Coex, Grand InterContinental, JW Marriott Seoul, and others listed below.
It says it can be used 6 times a year.
However, it also mentions that service might be restricted on specific days like Christmas Eve or December 31st. lol
Discounts at major department stores and duty-free shops are quite useful.
If it’s hard to memorize, just bring it whenever you see a Lotte logo.
It’s a great deal to have a cup of coffee at the Lotte Hotel 1F lounge and then go spend money at the department store.
They say there are spa discounts too, but since it’s usually a discount off the regular price... and they often have their own promotions anyway, I’ll skip this.
It’s also great to bring along when going to Jeju Island.
They offer a 5% taxi discount up to KRW 5,000 per month.
And here is the airport lounge service.
To wrap it up, I’ll just say it’s best to have this card with you whenever you are near a Lotte establishment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can men also get the Shinhan Lady Best Card?
Yes, men can also subscribe and get the card. Although the card name includes 'Lady,' male customers can apply without restrictions, and many find it useful for their wives or families.
How do I apply for the gift option benefit?
You must apply by calling the customer center directly at 1566-8357. If you do not apply by phone between 9 AM and 6 PM on weekdays, the benefit will not be provided, so please remember to apply every year after paying the 200,000 won annual fee.
What products are available for the gift option?
You can choose one of the following: a 150,000 won Lotte Department Store gift certificate, three hotel brunch meal tickets for one person, a 150,000 won Juno Hair voucher, or an LG 180,000 won voucher. Among these, the Lotte Department Store gift certificate is generally the most practical.
Is the hotel lounge free beverage service available at any time?
No, usage may be restricted on specific dates. It is provided 6 times a year and can be used at places like Lotte World Main Building, Intercontinental COEX, and JW Marriott Seoul, but it may not be available on special days like Christmas Eve or December 31st.
What is the mileage accumulation rate?
Based on Korean Air SKYPASS, 1 mile is accumulated for every 1,500 won spent. It offers a decent mileage accumulation rate, and for Shinhan Points, approximately 1% of the payment amount is accumulated.
