Has anyone made a purchase on Korean Airs website for a ticket using their KB save plustar card with the maestro symbol? From what I was told by the Korean Air agent it sounds like it is more trouble than it is worth. He claims that I need to have the bank issue me a credit card password(which will be entered in the payment section of the website ) and the bank needs to have my account autorized to make large purchases( called this a bank certificate authorization) and I need a password for this also. I am wondering if I am better off having my school make the purchase rather than me making it. Any feedback would help! Thanks  |

Korea has this verification system for just about every card for online purchases. I have a samsung visa card, nonghyub maestro card, nonghyub mastercard and all three cards needs a password, my arc number and my pin number everytime i make an online purchase, unless it's less than 20,000won.
Yes, at first it's a freaking pain in the butt to have everything register and verified by your bank, but after that its just a matter of whipping out your arc card and punching in the number.
It sux but that's how it is. |

Thanks! Does anyone have a KB account with the type of card that I mentioned? I want to make sure when I speak to the KB agent that I am asking for the correct information to be entered and given on to me on my end. Has anyone gone through this process for KB Bank? Thanks! |

It's cheaper to buy a ticket from a travel agent. Go to the international terminal at Gimpo airport. On the second floor in a small dollar type store there is a Kiosk that has travel agents. There tickets are cheaper than online tickets. |

I think I have the same thing, it's a green colored card?
A previous co-teacher helped set something up and installed something on my USB stick (which I have deleted) and this allowed me to make online purchases. You could go that route, and most likely you will be entering your ARC card number.
I would suggest going with a travel agent first. See what prices they give you. Maybe it will be more than what you can find online, but if it is not that much you will save a lot of headache. I just gave them my KB card to purchase a ticket and then got it back 2 minutes later. Done deal. No internet/foreigner hassle involved. |

Thanks! I will see if I already have the online authorization setup on my card. I hope if it is not set,then I can do it over the phone rather than in person,especially with the limited amount of time I have. I have found the KAL seem to offer better deals online. I live out in the country and for me to head into Ginpo it would cosr me about 28,000 roundtrip for a bus. Thanks everyone! |

| Or you could call the airline direct and just enter your credit card # over the phone and qualify for the discount. I don't trust buying it online, especially here. Too many things can go wrong. At least when you call, someone is held accountable for error on the company's end |

That sounds like a good idea. Do they email my receipt and E-ticket to me?
Thanks |
