PAYMENTS & TRANSIT
WOWPASS: buying, airport pickup & how to use it
Prepare WOWPASS for your Korea trip: choose the right pickup option, register the card and understand separate payment and Tmoney balances.
Two balances, one card: WOWPASS for shop payments, Tmoney for supported transit. Check both before you leave the airport.
01 / WOWPASS
Choose your purchase & pickup option
Klook lists machine redemption and an Incheon/Gimhae airport CU pickup option. These are different packages. Read eligibility, the exact collection location, hours and voucher conditions before payment. The listed Klook offer excludes Korean passport holders.
02 / WOWPASS
Collect the card before travelling onward
Save the voucher and follow the redemption instructions for your selected package. Use the WOWPASS app to locate machines. Do not assume every airport counter or CU branch can redeem your voucher; Jeju pickup must be checked separately.
03 / WOWPASS
Register the card & check the payment balance
Install the official WOWPASS app, register the card and check the available top-up methods and fees. The payment balance is for purchases at supported offline merchants in Korea. Insert the chip into the payment terminal.
04 / WOWPASS
Top up Tmoney separately
The same physical card has a separate Tmoney balance for supported transit. Check and top it up before boarding, then tap at the gates or readers. Adding money to WOWPASS does not automatically add money to Tmoney. Read the current official guide for available Tmoney top-up methods.
05 / WOWPASS
Keep your booked tickets handy
An AREX Express, KTX or reserved airport-bus booking is a separate ticket. Follow its seat, departure and redemption instructions. A transit-card balance is not a replacement for a reserved ticket.
