The Korea Tour Card is no longer sold
Tmoney's own page for visitor cards says it plainly: "Sales of the KOREA TOUR CARD have ended". It was a promotional card tied to the Visit Korea Year campaigns, which is why so many blog posts — and even the Korea Tourism Organization's English page, which still lists it at ₩4,000 — describe it as current. Look for the current visitor-card names when checking stock. If you own one from an earlier trip, you can still use it for eligible subway and bus fares like an ordinary Tmoney card and check the current partner benefits for your card.
What replaced it
| Card | Price | What it adds to plain Tmoney |
|---|---|---|
| Tmoney Travel Card | ₩4,000 | Discounts at partner attractions, shops and cultural venues |
| Tmoney Travel Card+ | ₩6,000 | The same, plus payment in ordinary shops through WOWPASS, with the balance managed in the app or at a kiosk |
All three use a Tmoney balance for supported transit journeys. Check the current partner list and the separate shopping-balance features before choosing a more expensive card. An advertised discount count is less useful than confirming the offers at places you plan to visit.

- You just need to get around: buy a plain card at a participating convenience store — “How do I buy a physical Tmoney card?”.
- You will visit several partner attractions: consider the Travel Card. Check at Incheon Airport’s bus ticket office or a participating convenience store, as stock varies.
- You want one card for transit and shopping: compare the Travel Card+ with WOWPASS, which also offers currency exchange — “What is WOWPASS, the prepaid card for visitors?”.
