[Sponsored Report] Easier points from Kookmin

The KB Kookmin Wise Card provides a customized and easy-to-use point system for each client. The company is offering other benefits for new cardholders.

KB Kookmin Card launched the KB Kookmin Wise Card on March 2. The card has been a major hit with customers, with the company registering 170,000 cardholders as of April 12. The card was introduced as part of the company’s strategy to provide better products and more effective service.

KB Kookmin Wise Card has a customized point accumulation system for each client and this new card makes it even easier to track your points (Pointree). The company gives 10 times more points for certain common-types of purchases and clients can convert points into cash at any KB Kookmin Bank ATM. This is a unique change that is improving convenience for clients.

The seven fields that provide the most points for purchases are education, shopping, gas and transportation, beverages and food, leisure, medical care and communications.

The three fields that cardholders make the most purchases in will provide 5 percent in points back and 1 percent when making purchases overseas. If you hold onto the card for two years, 5,000 additional points will be provided on your birthday that year, as long as you make 100,000 won in purchases the month before.

If you have more than 10,000 points you can withdraw the points as cash at a Kookmin Bank ATM.

KB Kookmin Wise Card has two classes, gold and platinum. The annual fee for the gold card is 10,000 won.

The platinum card has a one-time opening fee of 100,000 won. But if you use more than 1,000,000 won in a year, you will be exempt from paying the annual fee the next year.
