Pick the store, type the bag price. We run the foreigner discount and the VAT refund on top.
Department store
Where to ask:
Each store runs its own program. Same idea: passport at the desk, get a card.
| Store | Where | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Lotte | 1F or B1 information desk (most branches) | Tourist Membership Card. 5-7% off at most counters; Myeongdong / Jamsil cards double as a transit pass. |
| Shinsegae | Foreigner Service Center, 13F (Main store, Myeongdong) | Members Card. 5% off, max 5 transactions per month, plus 2 drink coupons for the Members Bar. |
| Hyundai | Concierge desk at Apgujeong, Trade Center, Pangyo, The Hyundai Seoul, Sinchon | K-Card and brand vouchers. 5-10% off on participating brands; daily caps apply. |
| Galleria | Concierge, Apgujeong East / West Wings | VIP Tourist Voucher. 5% off on luxury floors (East and West Wings). |
Stop at the info desk first
Before you shop, find the customer-service or information desk on the ground or basement floor. Tell them "foreigner discount card, please". They'll ask for your passport.
Show the card at the brand counter
When paying, hand over the card with your card or cash. The cashier deducts the % automatically. Some luxury counters (Hermès, Chanel, Rolex) opt out. Ask first.
Stack with the tax refund
The 5-7% foreigner discount applies first. Then the VAT tax-free refund (~5-8%) is calculated on the discounted amount. On a ₩500,000 bag, that's typically ₩50-70k saved.
