What credit card should I use in Korea?

Question 1: Can I use China's credit card when traveling in Korea? Hello, domestic general credit cards, such as UnionPay, VISA or MASTER, can be used in large shopping malls in Korea. This information is for reference only and is based on the local situation in Korea. I hope it helps you. Thank you for your question!

Question 2: Is it better to apply for a single-currency card or a dual-currency card to apply for a credit card in Korea? A single currency credit card is recommended.

At the end of last year (four months ago), I traveled to Korea for five days and four nights. I have a dual-currency single-currency credit card, and I always use a single currency, because if I settle the account with dual currency, I have to convert it into US dollars first, then convert it into US dollars according to Korean won, and I have to repay it in US dollars, which is too wasteful to bear multiple exchange rates.

Single currency credit card settlement is converted into RMB at that time, and direct repayment is converted into RMB at that time.

So, I suggest you make a single currency. If you go to America, you will feel very free.

By the way, shopping in Korean duty-free shops is not much cheaper, but much more expensive than in Europe. If you plan to travel to Europe in the near future, it is recommended not to buy too many things in Korea. But be sure to buy more cosmetics, it's really cheap there! Besides, it's good to take more home to send friends.

Even if you swipe your card, remember to change more won cash and carry it with you.

I hope my answer is helpful to you. Remember to adopt it.

Question 3: Can I swipe my parents' credit card when traveling to Korea? I'm not sure about the tax store, but it should be okay, right? It is more convenient to bring UnionPay and visa. Except for places with many tour groups in China, UnionPay cannot be played in most other places.

It depends on where you go, whether you play with a group or by yourself. It takes a long time.

I have been to Jeju Island alone. Because of landing visa, this tourist route is very popular now. It seems that it costs 4000 ~ 5000 to travel with a group. But when you come, of course, you have to shop. It depends on your own situation.

If you travel with a group to famous cities such as Seoul and Busan, wow, the tour fee will cost more than 5,000 yuan, but if you want to play well, the good price of accommodation will have to be raised, and the travel agency will also divide it into five-star routes. The four-star route is actually the quality of the hotel. Shopping in Seoul will definitely buy a lot. I think shopping in Asia is best in Singapore and Seoul. Personal opinion! The current exchange rate is

160, which is much smarter than in previous years.

It's hard to say if you play by yourself. Generally, playing by yourself will be more fun and not too tired, but the cost will be much higher. There is also the problem of language communication. The English spoken by Koreans is generally incomprehensible to China people. = =|||

So I suggest joining a group, but it's actually quite good to play by yourself, if you have abundant funds and don't care. Then you should have a deeper understanding of Korea. People on Korean streets are still very warm and polite.

Ask for directions, find a place, etc. It's all for you in detail. Although I don't like sticks either, I think it's good in some places.

If you were a student, you wouldn't buy luxury goods, would you? It doesn't cost much to buy small things. It is cheaper to buy clothes than at home. I come from Suzhou. If I compare the shopping malls in Suzhou with those in Korea, Suzhou is actually more expensive.

For Seoul, I recommend Everland, Lotte World and Myeongdong (I think these are the classic places in Seoul).

Busan just goes to the seaside. What's that name? Yuntai I think Busan is more classic, suitable for tourists who probably come to visit. But it's good to visit Busan, a small place and an alley. There seem to be two. I forget their names. Excuse me. = = ||| One is on the other side of the tower. Have a bad memory.

I have never been to Jeju Island. It is said that it is not as far away as Hainan Island, so it is not recommended.

I don't have much impression on other cities, either Daegu, the city I have been to, is not so good. No, no, no.

Take more photos, buy less things, and be happy.

If you join the group, it will be enough to bring less than 5000. I don't know the details of your shopping.

If you don't join the group, it's always wobbly to bring a 10000. It must be enough. But the ticket from Shanghai to Korea has gone up. I don't know if it has gone up. )

Question 4: What kind of credit card should I use to go to Korea? Visa and MasterCard brand credit cards can generally be used for credit card consumption. After gambling on zinc soup, Air Canada is looking for it.

Question 5: Korean tourists can use any credit card of that bank, as long as it is UnionPay card. If you use a credit card, be sure to ask the bank's foreign exchange repayment rate. Some banks charge fees.

There is no charge for the China Merchants and Minsheng Credit Cards used when I went there last year.

By the way, it is best to use a credit card or a memory card, but if you lose it, it will be troublesome to report it abroad.

Also, you don't need to bring too much cash, just bring 2000 RMB. If you have money, you can bring more, because you can swipe your card in Korea, even in a small supermarket, and it is convenient to bring some money to buy some small things.

And don't exchange won at home, because the exchange rate is different every day. Just change it when you get off the plane. In Korea, you can exchange money at airports, scenic spots, hotels or busy streets, not with tour guides. Liar.

Question 6: What credit cards can I use in Korea? Hello, China Merchants Bank's credit card can be used in Korea. Because the cards of China Merchants Bank generally have dual-currency cards of US dollars and RMB, you can swipe your card in Korean shopping malls as long as you have the visa or master logo. However, if there is a UnionPay logo, it is recommended to tell the cashier that I will pay with UnionPay first, because there is no foreign currency exchange fee for paying with UnionPay, because when I use visa or master card, I will pay in US dollars, but UnionPay does not have this fee, and I will pay in RMB when I repay.

So you can pay with China Merchants Bank's credit card, but there may be a foreign currency exchange fee, so you can pay with UnionPay when you can.

Question 7: Which bank savings cards or credit cards in China can swipe their cards to shop there? All domestic bank cards, including savings cards and credit cards, can be used directly in Korea. Credit cards can be used in Korean department stores, duty-free shops, supermarkets, convenience stores, Doota at Dongdaemun, Myeongdong cosmetics stores and other places. Because China UnionPay cooperates with Korea BC Card Company, the largest merchant network company in Korea. So to go to Korea, you don't need to get another wild card, just bring some bank cards you usually use. It is recommended to bring a credit card with a card number beginning with 62, and it is a credit card of industry and commerce, agriculture, China, construction, transportation, CITIC, China Everbright, Minsheng, Guangfa, Shenfa, Shanghai, Beijing and Ping An Bank. This kind of credit card can be swiped anywhere in Korea. Just like in China, it's convenient! In addition, bring a savings card for backup, and you can swipe your card when you spend more in department stores and duty-free shops. When the cash is not enough, you can also go to the Bank of Korea to withdraw Korean won.

Question 8: What credit card is better for traveling to Korea? No matter which bank's credit card consumption is calculated according to the exchange rate of RMB against Korean won on that day, there is nothing uneconomical. If the RMB appreciates and the won depreciates, it may be cheaper. Only the UnionPay logo depends on whether the shops of Korean merchants support UnionPay. In addition, if you go abroad, you can swipe it as long as it is a store that master or visa generally supports swiping cards. If you meet a partner of master or visa, there may be a discount. There is no handling fee for swiping a credit card.

Question 9: What bank card should I use to travel to Korea? There is no handling fee for swiping UnionPay. The exchange rate is settled according to the exchange rate of the day, and the repayment is made in RMB. Pay attention to tell the cashier to swipe UnionPay when swiping the card, otherwise it will be swiped by visa or master by mistake.

Question 10: Can Korean credit cards be swiped in China? If any logo is printed on the front or back of the card, please find a merchant with the corresponding logo to swipe the card.

General mainstream credit cards in Korea include visa, mastercard, bc, amex, diners club, jcb, etc. Some banks also issue UnionPay cards.

Merchants who accept credit cards in China support UnionPay cards in first-tier cities such as visa and mastercard (except some private shops, convenience stores and gas stations only accept UnionPay cards). Elsewhere, only mid-to high-end merchants will accept cards from international card organizations.

I also told another respondent, lian20 120000, that at present, most countries do not distinguish between domestic cards and international cards, and only China is an example. Therefore, visa, mastercard and other international card organizations have even helped the People's Bank of China and UnionPay to establish a domestic non-cash transaction settlement network in China for 20 years, but they are still unable to handle RMB transactions and issue RMB cards.

South Korea does not distinguish between domestic cards and international cards.
