Shinhan Card has introduced a premium travel-focused card that allows users to earn both airline miles and points simultaneously.
On September 3, Shinhan Card announced the launch of 'Shinhan Card The CLASSIC Air,' which enhances travel-related benefits.
The CLASSIC Air card offers a basic earning rate of one Korean Air mile for every 1,500 won spent at domestic and international merchants. Users can earn an additional mile for spending in the food service sector, including restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, and delivery apps, as well as at overseas merchants and online shopping, totaling two miles per 1,500 won spent.
The card also provides My Shinhan Points earning benefits. When paying with Shinhan Super SOL or SOL Pay in South Korea, users can earn 0.5% of their spending, capped at 20,000 points per month. For international transactions, users can earn 1% of their spending with no limit, regardless of the payment method.
Additionally, the card offers optional benefits based on annual spending. Customers who pay the annual fee and spend over 1 million won in a year can choose between receiving 5,000 Korean Air miles or 100,000 My Shinhan Points once a year.
Travel-related perks include discounts at eight premium hotel lounges in South Korea and reduced parking fees at Incheon Airport, as well as complimentary access to airport lounges worldwide.
The annual fee is set at 147,000 won for domestic use and 150,000 won for the international American Express (AMEX) version.
A Shinhan Card representative stated, "The ability to earn both Korean Air miles and My Shinhan Points simultaneously is the card's most significant feature. We have enhanced the perceived benefits by adding premium travel services such as hotel lounge discounts and free airport lounge access."
