Currently in Seoul but couldn't find the Korea Tour Card

[@Top10herb]

Subbed! Great content!

[@13promusic]

First of all, many congrats on the 10k subs! I have found these Korea tour videos really helpful and I'm currently in Seoul as we speak for the first time ever. Really enjoying my time here but thank you so much and keep up the brilliant work that you do! Kind regards!

[@PhatLifeProject]

Thank you so much for your kind words! im so glad you found these videos helpful, hope you are enjoying your trip so far!

[@memmyyamin172]

Thank you so much for all of your videos on traveling to Korea. I'm Seoul now and your videos really helped me prepare my trip. Very informative! PS: You're the reason I bought a wowpass and the card has been really useful.

[@PhatLifeProject]

I am so glad you found value in this! and I have reused my WOWPass 4 times now as well =)

[@mirandar2446]

Ahhh I had no idea this was a thing! So cool 😍

[@PhatLifeProject]

they went out of circulation for a bit but they are back =)

Hi Steve, congratulations for your channel, is so helpful and your explanations is perfect! Can you tell me where I can buy the Climate Card in Incheon Airport? And if I decide to get climate card in Seul I can buy at any subway station? Thank you so much!

[@PhatLifeProject]

Unfortunately due to the card popularity it is getting harder to find Theres a full list of where you can hunt it down here - news.seoul.go.kr/traffic/climatecard-shop

Hi Steve! Thank you very much for your Korean series. 😊 Being an anxious person it really helps to know exactly what to expect. I have just completed my 8-day Korea trip and your videos have been heaps handy. Are you able to make a thorough guide on the tax refund process for a future video? I found the process unnecessary convoluted (but maybe it's just me not understanding certain things 😅). Thanks again!

[@PhatLifeProject]

My pleasure! Im so glad they helped! And what a fantastic video idea ! i'm going to note that down =)

[@YC9678]

I found your content interesting and informative. To enjoy discounts (say, entrance for X The Sky, Busan) given by using Korea Tour Card, must we use the sufficiently pre-loaded card to pay for the entrance fee? Or we can pay using other credit card and show the Korea Tour Card to get the discount?

[@PhatLifeProject]

thank you and no the card hold the benefits =)

[@wendybts2025]

thank you for the trip.

[@PhatLifeProject]

You are very welcome !

[@thomasfoss2476]

WowPass just announced they’re temporarily not allowing Visa for topping up their cards. Is cash the only other option?

[@PhatLifeProject]

I used mastercard and was fine

[@ilovekpop39]

I'm thinking of getting the climate pass but how do take a train from Incheon to Gangnam? Is there like a normal train ticket? Congrats on the 10k subs!

[@PhatLifeProject]

You will need to purchase an AREX ticket, its not expensive =) you get it here bit.ly/incheontogangnam

@@PhatLifeProject Thank you! I hope your pillow is cold on both sides, you NEVER stub your toe and you get a FANTASTIC meal today!

[@Top10herb]

Which of these are available as a e-card you can use on your phone? !

[@jayjaywarrior1207]

The only thing that sucks about the wowpass is to use the t money part for transportation, you have to pay physical money at a transit place to load that up.

[@PhatLifeProject]

yes unfortunately Tmoney is a proprietary function that is not owned by wowpass

[@hiitsjean]

Hi, thanks for very informative videos, it helps planning our upcoming trip to Seoul. We will be traveling from u.s., may I know if credit card ( visa, master cards) are widely accepted in Seoul? Is PIN required? which ATM bank to use for cash withdrawal if needed? Thank you !

[@PhatLifeProject]

yup accepted at all major shopping destinations for ATM bank best check with your bank before going on your trip =)

Congrats🎉🎉🎉🎉

thank you so much for your support and kind words 😊😊😊

Hiya Thankyou for your video.. Can I please just confirm.. in order to purchase the Korea Tour card initially it is via cash yes. But to charge it up with more money can I use my Monzo master card? Also I don’t want to sound thick BUT if we want to generally buy snacks or food or something do we use the Korea tour card like a bank card after we top it up or use our normal bank cards?

[@PhatLifeProject]

You are welcome, thanks for watching All top ups EXCEPT for WOWPass must be done using Korean WON cash only Sounds lik you need a WOWPASS - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3uTc4OvdqyNhbssi=xAQRo3zNf3pE9JeD To buy - bit.ly/wowpassphatlife (use code PHATLIFEPROJECTKLOOK for 10% OFF)

[@andrewalexander4331]

With so many card options, it's got so complicated! For my 2 weeks in South Korea, it sounds like I should get the Climate Card for travelling around Seoul, and the Korea Tour Card for everything else (though I'm getting a free T-Money card with my Korean SIM card!)

[@PhatLifeProject]

if you dont need all the shopping, discount tickets etc benefits of the Korean Tour Card and just want to use public transport your TMoney card will be more than enough =)

[@andrewalexander4331]

@@PhatLifeProject Ooh, ok, I'll consider that. I have no interest in shopping, so I guess it depends on the savings for the tickets. The DMZ, for example.

[@kkchai82]

to get the discount is that i need to have the korea tour card for each person or just one person have it then the rest can enjoy the discount?

[@Dkssong]

Heyy I love your videos i wish I would’ve watched this earlier 😭 My next travel to korea is in a yr but I was wondering if you used these cards to buy anything online or if I have to get another card that works online thanks

[@PhatLifeProject]

Hi thank you for watching! as i know none of these cards can be used for online purchases but I used my credit card for online food delivery and kakaotaxi and it worked fine

[@Dkssong]

@@PhatLifeProject Ohh thank you so much! So the Australian credit card still works perfectly? Dont they charge really bad for international fees? I’m also from Sydney but I havent used my card overseas so im super worried

[@nnamuenmada]

Can you purchase Climate Card at Gimpo airport?

Hi.....can i use Climate Card for Airport Limousine from Myengdong to Incheon Airport?

[@PhatLifeProject]

Yes, you can

[@see2travel]

Hi, can the climate card functions as a t-money card in say Busan?

[@PhatLifeProject]

i believe it can only be used as a tmoney card when the climate card package on it has expired

[@willmc6728]

i'm going for a month from mid november, mainly to see the the country/culture/small towns etc. with a couple of days in seoul. So, wow pass as a debit card, climate card for seoul (watched a vid about seoul metro network and looks like it has a 50km radius around seoul, huge), and then korea tour card for travel everywhere else. about a 12AUD outlay for the 3. sound good?

[@PhatLifeProject]

You are absolutely correct!!

[@garethwilliams6860]

With Korea Tour pass?, how can i obtain the discount if booking a tour on Klook?
