Reviews: WOWPASS: A prepaid card with the functions of currency exchange, payment and T-money transportation
Guest User2025-12-17
I booked my WOWPASS in advance when I booked my hotel. It was cheaper than buying it locally, which was great. I used the code on the hotel's WOWPASS to get my ticket. It was very convenient. However, I checked in advance and found that there are no WOWPASS machines at Incheon Airport (though you can buy them at convenience stores or as a set), so using your WOWPASS from the airport can be tricky. I took the airport bus directly to the hotel from Incheon Airport, got my WOWPASS there, and then headed to the subway, so it wasn't a problem. It's important to check the usage instructions in advance, as the charges for transportation and shopping are different, so be careful not to get confused. This time, I didn't use my WOWPASS for transportation, but instead used the Climate Companion Card (unlimited subway and bus rides for two days), so I used my WOWPASS for shopping and dining. The exchange rate for Won was also fine with the WOWPASS. Be careful, if you deposit too much Japanese yen, you will be charged a fee if you withdraw Japanese yen. Also, since there are no machines at Incheon Airport, it's better to withdraw money within the city. I had anticipated the payment to some extent, so I have a little balance left, but I will leave it as it is until my next trip to Korea.
