I have acquired an LG membership card, but I have no idea where I can use it for discounts. Anyone know, or know where to find out?

You can get a free size upgrade at Starbucks. I haven't used it for anything else but it should have came with a discount booklet. When you're out and about look for a picture of the card near the till. Maybe TGIF or Dunkin Donuts give a discount too.

Yeah. Used it many times like that but haven't been in awhile. If they change prices it might make a difference. Used to be 500 won difference from each size. I don't use my phone much so I get 30000 won in discount credits for the whole year Each time I got a size upgrade I'd get a message with my new discount balance, it'd take 500 points/won off.

Ask at the store, they usually ask if you have a discount card anyway. Just like every damn supermarket and bakery...

I was hoping there was a list online somewhere. I vaguely recall a little pamphlet, but I also recall that it was all in Korean.

[Horangi Munshin]

I doubt you'll find anything in English.

The booklet that comes with your bill should outline discounts (in Korean).

I haven't been to the movies in a long time but you can probably get a discount a set number of movies per year. 1000 off maybe. In the past my wife has used multiple cards to get discounts on the same ticket. Again points are used up.

How did you get the discount card? I have an LG cell phone account and I want that Starbucks discount!

One day my coteacher mentioned I could get a discount card. He called and put me on the phone when they needed some info. Showed up at my school a week or so later.

I don't have a complete list but you can use it in GS25, Mr Pizza and Paris Baguette. There are more places but these are the only ones I can remember. I am pretty sure that Dunkin Donuts don't use it.

The places you can use it have a sign next to the till or just wave the card when you go to pay and see if they take it off you.
