Does anyone know how Gepik reimburses the flight money? Is it a check made out to me? The reason I am asking is, I will be paying for my ticket with a credit card and I will be sending the amount charged to my credit card company before I leave. I want to make sure they do not make the check out to the credit card , but have it made out to me.
Thanks Confused

I think a previous poster made note that you need to keep your boarding pass, etc. in order to get reimbursed. Someone should chime in with more knowledge.

Your school should pay you back in the same way that you'll receive your monthly paycheck. They'll send it to your korean bank account. At least that's what mine did.

If you have not opened a bank account, you should. Actually you must, I believe, because the school reimburses by direct deposit. I don't know if they would cut checks or not. My school requested my bank account info, my boarding passes and reservation receipt. They credited my account a day before pay day. They used the exchange rate from the day I bought the ticket, which was great because the won was 1556 or something like that, and when I was reimbursed, it was in the 1300s.

Due the turmoil in financial markets, and the volatility of the Korean Won, GEPIK has decided all flight re-imbursements will be in Gold Bullion.

Teacher's will also no longer be able to claim the cash back from their pensions, and will be given Kimchi instead.
