| I plan to spend at least 4k of it on vacation. Should I use TravCheques or cash? Dunno if they even have TC in Korea. Or is it just cheaper to use my Korean CC while I'm on vacation. |

Take some cash for the first day or two and then TC's. You get the best exchange rate with TCs.
I know you can get them at KB or Citibank. If the bank you use has a digital currency board then they probably have TCs. They give you a better exchange rate if you take TC's over cash. And at Citibank I'm pretty sure they give you a discount so you get almost the base exchange rate. Don't know about KB.
With credit cards, you usually have a charge for every purchase overseas based on percentage. You have to check with your card company. |
