The keyword of this article is 'department store performance', and it is said that there is a prevalent transaction of buying and selling performance to become a department store VIP ahead of the end of the year.
Let's look at the contents.
Usually, the department store industry closes the VIP performance from December to January of the following year.
Ahead of the performance deadline, articles seeking and selling department store VIP performance are being posted on luxury cafes and second-hand trading platforms.
Most of them buy receipts from customers who have purchased expensive luxury goods and deposit them in their cell phone number instead.
This is because underperforming customers can buy receipts with cash to maintain their VIP status, while those with sufficient performance can earn extra income.
So what about the trading price?
Although it varies by department store, it is formed at about 3% of the payment amount.
The reason why these performance deals are so popular is because if you become a VIP customer, you can receive various benefits such as department store lounges, valet parking, and holiday gifts.
Department stores regard these performance transactions as fraudulent acts and have a rule of disqualification when caught, but it is said that it is difficult to actually detect them.
