Using it now. Not the most convenient. Top Up only at designated KBank Foreign Exchange booth (mostly at the airport, with few in the city). Need to login every time you want to use. Connection is not the fastest.

Thanks for the heads-up, Ignatius. Sounds like the limited top-up options and slow connection could really make it a pain for regular use. I might stick with my usual card for now.

Wise has a QR scan option, does this not work in Thailand, or is it only with a Thai banking app?

Are you sure you know what you're talking about and that you understood correctly? 200 THB is the minimum amount for card payments (unless something has changed recently), not an extra cost. Personally, I don't use the Wise card, but it seems pretty unlikely that such an amount would be charged for a card transaction - especially when using solutions like Wise.

This won't work. These QR codes have a different use.

Won’t even chance, it’s Thailand, like the health insurance companies, they only care about ‘profit off of’ not helping foreigners.

Many places I go to in Thailand don’t accept credit cards and debit cards. It’s cash or scan using your Thai bank app on your phone. Based on that, this card has no advantage for me. Also, if I go to a place that accepts credit cards, I’m using my own card so I can get the cash back or miles.

I would imagine, like the prepaid visas in the USA, there's helluh fees for everything, including checking your balance, each transaction, etc

I haven't used it myself, but if the only way to top up is through a foreign exchange booth, it doesn't seem very cost-effective in the long run. You still need foreign cash, and exchange rates at those places are typically unfavorable. It might make sense for short-term tourists in Thailand, but I don't think it's worth it for long-term residents. It also likely depends on how much you usually spend. While it's convenient that it supports QR payments, overall, I personally don't find it better than options like Revolut, etc.
