  • @momscooking939
    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!
  • 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.
  • Hey Steve, thanks for the very informative videos. Was wondering if T-money pass has an app to consult your balance?
  • 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
  • @arabellaa09
    hi, is there any other place to top up the tmoney pass aside at subway station? like can i top up at convinience store?
  • @stephenomenal29
    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=)

    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?
  • 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?
  • @daria.akkura
    Hi! Is wowpass working in buses outside of Seoul? Can I top up wowpass with credit card or only with cash (any cash)? Thank you!
  • @annakateSD
    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!
  • @user-uh9bi4wl6d
    I note the exchange rate in WOwpass is not so attractive. Could we use a foreign travel debit card to purchase the wowpass?
  • 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 :)
  • @jackyow80
    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
  • @Mari-wr9fd
    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
