"Benefits Tailored to Individual Tastes Hit the Mark"... Hyundai Card's Alphabet Card Tops 150,000 Issued View original image

The Alphabet Card is a proprietary brand launched by Hyundai Card. Depending on the card, it offers benefits such as 10% discounts in specialized categories including beauty, convenient payments, subscription payments, dining and travel.


Hyundai Card cited its proprietary brand strategy as a key factor behind the Alphabet Card's popularity. It created everything from a custom typeface to card packaging exclusively for the Alphabet Card. The company also removed its corporate identity (CI) from the front of the card. Hyundai Card said it redesigned the card's benefits and user experience. As a result, the Alphabet Card's distinctive features, setting it apart from the company's existing general-purpose credit card (GPCC) and premium card lineups, quickly resonated with consumers, the company said.


Hyundai Card also pointed to its ability to spot changes in the market as a factor behind the Alphabet Card's success. The card was developed to reflect the growing diversity of consumers' tastes and lifestyles compared with the past, including in areas such as beauty, convenient payments, dining and travel. The company said this trend has helped the Alphabet Card, with its category-specific benefits, establish itself as an essential item.


Hyundai Card said the Alphabet Card has proven popular with both new customers and existing Hyundai Card members, creating synergies with its existing credit cards. In fact, more Hyundai Card M members who spend heavily on beauty are applying for an additional Alphabet Card B to use when purchasing beauty products and maximize their benefits.


A Hyundai Card representative said, "Hyundai Card M and Hyundai Card ZERO represent one side of Hyundai Card's versatility, while the Alphabet Card represents another, tailored to individual lifestyles. The two product lines are creating synergies and broadening Hyundai Card's range."



Hyundai Card is offering annual-fee cashback to new Alphabet Card members through Oct. 31. The offer is available to applicants who are receiving a Hyundai Card for the first time, and eligible members will receive a refund of their first-year annual fee. More details are available on the Hyundai Card website and app.
