Does anyone know if the KEB VISA card works for buying airfare on English language websites?

Has anyone done this?

If so, which web sites?

Thanks

I've done it with a check card. So I imagine there should be no problem.

Didn't work for me when I tried it on websites such as expedia, ebookers etc. I talked to a KEB manager at one of their expat centres and she just agreed when I told her about it.

I can vouch that the KEB global card worked at Japanese postal ATMs, however.

Didn't read the english website part. It did work on the Asiana website one time for me, and works for the Korean ones.

you can only book flights online using your check card (not credit card) when you make purchases on a korean webpage.
try interpark for that or any korean airline site. i regularly do that and have no problem with it whatsoever.
its quick and theres no additional fee.

just read the fine print on the back of your card. "Valid for overseas ATMs (must register for FX transactions) but invalid for overseas purchasing merchandise"
