If you bring a taxi payment, NO, you have to scratch OK … Menbung on the first day of the disaster fund-Chosun.com

“No Busan Starbucks, Seoul Starbucks”

“You should not bring the taxi fare with T money, just scratch the terminal”

On the 13th day of the first day of using emergency funds, disaster fund users had to postpone each time they scratched their cards. This is because I have no choice but to confuse if my card is scratched and my money is coming out.

Although the government and the card industry actively guided where to use the disaster relief funds, it is said among citizens, “still confused.”

On this day, queries such as “Can disaster relief funds be used on ○○?” This is because the criteria for dividing available stores are very demanding. Furthermore, it is confusing due to the different use of the fund by the disaster relief funds paid by local governments.

“I went to a franchise cafe and asked if I was getting paid for disaster aid,” said Lee Amo, 34, an office worker in Dongjak-gu, Seoul. Depending on whether it is a direct management store or a commercial store, the use or not of the disaster relief fund may vary, because employees often do not know if their store is a retail or commercial store.

Direct stores can only be used at the regional office where the central office is located. Starbucks, a direct management system, can only be used in Seoul, the headquarters. ‘Seoul Starbucks’ can use disaster relief funds, but ‘Busan Starbucks’ cannot. Payment for KORAIL tickets is also possible for citizens living in Daejeon, the headquarters. However, citizens of other regions are not possible.

Inconsistent standards were also controversial. Even the first day of use, such as the Corporate Supermarket (SSM), E-Mart Everyday, Lotte Super, and Home Plus Express do not accept disaster payments, but they were available at GS The Fresh (GS Supermarket). When criticism of the industry violated “fairness to fairness,” the government belatedly made it impossible to use GS The Fresh.

Availability may vary depending on the payment method. For example, if you use a T money, etc. and pay a cab fare with a postpaid transportation card, you cannot use disaster aid. This is because it is classified as ‘unauthorized sales’. The same applies to metro and bus fares. However, if you pay by reading the card at the card terminal, you can use the disaster relief funds. This means that you shouldn’t touch it in a word and scratch it yourself. In the card industry, it is said that “we are confused”.

A netizen said, “At the big mall store, payment was made because disaster aid was available, but it wasn’t.” I lost it. “

In principle, disaster relief funds can be used in rental stores operated by small businesses such as beauty salons, opticians, pharmacies, and hypermarket car washes. However, the premise is that the card company must be registered as an individual merchant. If you use a POS system as a hypermarket, it is impossible to pay the disaster allowance because it is captured as hypermarket sales.

A credit card company official said, “There are many customer complaints, ‘Why are you scratching at a business that may use disaster aid, but my money is running out?'”

On the other hand, small business owners and freelancers are looking for ‘special disaster relief funds’. Some stores are preparing to greet guests by posting signs, such as ‘available for disaster relief funds’ outside the store door. In online malls, billboards and banners with “Disaster Payments Available” and “Where to Use Disaster Funds” are sold.

Internet blogs, cafes, etc. They have been publishing articles promoting the use of emergency funds. An optician posted a hashtag of “#Disaster Grants”, saying, “There are many people who are concerned about not being able to use (disaster funds) in department stores and online.
