Limo buses at the airport take credit cards. I had cash, so I used some on the way back; I can't recall if there are other options.
Thanks. It looks like I had the wrong end of the stick. I had read that T-money cards purchased at subway machines were cash only, and I had leaped to the conclusion that they were cash-only everywhere. It sounds like I just need to buy/top-up at convenience stores in order to be able to use a credit card.
Does anyone know whether there is much of a language barrier at your average convenience store? Should I have what I want written down in Korean what I want ahead of time? Are receipts issued as 'standard' or will I have to ask for these too?
Final question (at least for this post!
) - if I buy and top-up at convenience stores, does this make it more complicated to get a refund of any unused funds at the end?
Thanks so much. There's enough stressing me out about this trip from a work perspective, so removing some of the unknown from the more mundane practical things does actually help my blood pressure! ^
