How to recharge and buy Korean T-money card

T-money card is something that most of us when traveling in Korea will buy, but how to buy this card and how to recharge it? It's actually very simple. How to do it specifically? Let’s take a look at this article to find out!

Recharge and purchase

Recharge

After purchasing the card, you can recharge it at GS25, 7-11 convenience stores, FamilyMart, subway station windows or recharge machines.

Purchase

Take Incheon Airport in South Korea as an example. You can buy it at GS25, 7-11 convenience stores and Familymart at the Incheon Airport exit. The airport convenience store is open 24 hours a day, and you can also buy it at urban convenience stores. T coin cards are divided into magnetic card type and pendant card type. The magnetic card type costs 3,000 won, and the pendant card costs 5,000-9,000 won. 1 RMB is equivalent to approximately 173 Korean Won.

Exchange Korean Won

When it comes to traveling to South Korea, the first thing everyone thinks of is exchanging money, so the most important thing is to exchange Korean won. I believe that most people will search Baidu to find various strategies before setting off. Where should we redeem it? There are many opinions on the Internet, so I will explain it to you from my professional perspective.

First of all, I must tell you that if you want to travel to South Korea, I suggest that you must prepare cash and credit cards, because you can pay by credit card in South Korea. The use of credit cards is very common. As for cash, it is recommended that you exchange some Korean Won before coming to Korea. In other words, whether you are traveling in a group or traveling independently, you must first exchange some money. This money is enough to meet the minimum amount of cash you can buy before exchanging money.

If you come to Korea to exchange money, most people go to Myeongdong. If you are in Busan, you will go to Nampo-dong and Seoul to change money. This way you will have enough change to take the bus or simply buy something to eat or drink. I don’t recommend changing money as soon as you leave the airport in Korea if you are traveling with a tour group; you may not have that much time to change it. Because the tour guide’s plan may not include your exchange of Korean won in the itinerary. If you are traveling freely, there is no problem in terms of time. However, the exchange rates are usually not as good as those at exchange offices. To ensure a smooth trip, you should exchange a small amount at your hometown airport before departure, or go to a bank in advance to exchange foreign currency. If you are shopping, it is recommended that you use a credit card. You have to be well prepared in this regard.

The above is about the recharge and purchase of T-money cards.
