Thank you Steve for the accurate information 🙂.. it's our first to visit in Seoul together with fam.. looking forward
Glad it was helpful and it was my pleasure! Hope you and your fam enjoy your trip
❤ just subscribed!!! All your videos are so helpful 😊
Thank you for watching and subscribing! Hope you have an amazing trip to Korea lined up ☺️
Thank you! ❤
You're welcome 😊
Good information, looks like the wow pass the the go to. Since you can top it up with your local cash to avoid currency exchange. Discover Seoul pass also good, might grab both. Planning to fo tourist attractions.
Yes a combination - use the Seoul pass and do all the attractions first and for the rest of your trip use a wowpass :)
Hey Steve, thanks for the very informative videos. Was wondering if T-money pass has an app to consult your balance?
There is an app called BucaCheck that you can use to check it but I’ve never used it myself to verify 🙌
TQ SO MUCHH U R AN ANGEL ❤️✨🙏
You are quite welcome :) enjoy Seoul!
How can I transfer the remaining money from my WOWPASS to my American bank checking account?
Does the WOWPASS have an expiration date if I want to keep it?
Can I top up my WOWPASS using my debit card to directly transfer the money from my American bank checking account to my WOWPASS?
Does the WOWPASS have a limit in the amount of transactions per day, the maximum spending limit or the maximum money that can be added to the card?
Thank you!
This is really useful. Thank you so much! Overall I think wowpass is the best option for us. We are travelling as a family of 4 with 2 children around 11years of age. Is it best for us to get 2 wowpass for myself and hubby, and 2 Tmoney card for the children to use on public transport?
YES! that is the perfect combination =)
Hi, thanks for the video; I would like to know if you can use the Discover seoul card pass as a IC card after the days of use
Hey, thank you for watching! Unfortunately not, once a Seoul Discover card has lapsed you can’t use it for anything - at least that’s what I understand
@@PhatLifeProject so I did some research and you can reuse the card after the pass is over as a t-money card 😁.
@@jenniferherreawolf1935 oh that’s so cool!
basically, these cards can only be used for BELOW ground transport like subway/metro. Above ground like KRAIL and high speed must be seperate i presume. Have you done any video on Krail/SRT before?seems like quite a few types of lines there too..thanks heaps=)
Not yet, I wanted to start with the basics =) will do another part soon =)
Hi , I saw that with t- money you might have a discount of 100 won Everytime you take a transportation. Does it apply for the others transportation cards ? Thank you :)
The wow pass sounds cool. But (you may not know this)- I'm traveling with my 12-year-old- does each person need a separate card for public transportation? Not sure if the wow pass would be beneficial in this situation!
great videos, they're very helpful!
yes, a separate card for each individual =) you may not need a wowpass in your child's case, maybe a T Money pass will do
I note the exchange rate in WOwpass is not so attractive. Could we use a foreign travel debit card to purchase the wowpass?
Hi! If i have a low balance at the end and lets say i want to spend in convenience store, can I pay the difference with the money? How much would you recommend to pop up for 4 days in Seoul?
It’s a good question! I don’t think you can and it’s either or - in terms of how much that also depends on what you’re planning to do in Seoul - but not to worry. You can always top up again easily at any wowpass machine or even using your own credit card within the app.
When you buy a wowcard for 4000 won, you can't get that cost of the card back, can you?
The same question for Tmoney cards: can you be refund the cost of the card at the end of the journey? I think their cost range from 3000 to 6000won depending on the design
hi, is there any other place to top up the tmoney pass aside at subway station? like can i top up at convinience store?
Yes you can also top up at convenience stores :)
do I need a seoul pass for kids aged 5? My kid will be accompanying me
i think the only thing about wowpass, is not all places. and it seems more for seoul and busan. i think because u need to have also cash in hand. so u need to strike a balance. and top up is only more on seoul and busan
yes balance is key
@@PhatLifeProject yup, because going on sep. last time don have this things. seems like you need to buy
