    Hello ! My mom and I are planning our trip for South Korea, and your videos are very informative, so thank you very much ! I do have one question though : If we take this WOWpass, can we use the linked T-Money card for two people or do we have to buy one independently ? We only plan on using one debit card, but I have heard that you can only use one T-Money per person (at least per adult, and we both are).

    • @PhatLifeProject
      @PhatLifeProject  Před 4 měsíci +2

      Definitely one t money per person :) and thank you! Enjoy korea ❤️

    @PhatLifeProject, hi there just want to ask about wowpoass card. I reserve one for our koroean trip. I just wonder why the card have the wowpass and tmoney. There is an option to load both wowpass and tmoney. What is the purpose of having wowpass and tmoney in one card? Appreciate your answer.

    • @PhatLifeProject
      @PhatLifeProject  Před měsícem

      T Money is not owned by WowPass, so there are 2 balances in there that serve 2 different purposes, TMoney for public transportation and WOWPass that is a cash card

    How is the Wowpass different from non transaction fees credit cards? Understand there are some discounts from merchants. How much Korean cash should one bring for night markets please? We’re going in November for 5 days. Thanks!

    • @PhatLifeProject
      @PhatLifeProject  Před dnem

      WOWPass is different in that it is a cash card that is to say apart form the exchange rate you are not charged overseas fees when using it in Korea
      I primarily used it because i didnt want to bring too much cash
      How much for markets depends on how much you want to eat! I have a video on Namdaemun market where I showed how much food you can get for 20 US dollars just to give u an idea
      Enjoy your trip in Novemebr!

      @PhatLifeProject  Před 2 měsíci

      great question! Yes, you can withdraw cash in KRW from your card via a WOW Exchange kiosk. However, you need to download the WOWPASS app, register your card, and enter 8-digit code to the app which will be displayed to you through a WOW Exchange kiosk. Then, you are able to withdraw your balance in KRW
