TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around topping up a Truemoney account in Thailand using a foreign card. Many expats share experiences, suggesting that cash withdrawals from ATMs can facilitate topping up at convenience stores like 7-Eleven, where there are limits on amounts. There is skepticism about the effectiveness of Truemoney and suggestions for alternative payment methods such as using the True app or PromptPay.

Im interested in this topic and must clarify. Is the reason you have a truemoney account, is to have the ability to pay with 'scan'? As a back up maybe?

I get 2% refund on Credit Card use. But nothing on money withdrawals, but I have to pay 250 THB. So why would I do that?!

You can try the Charles Schwab visa debit card which can be acquired if you have a Schwab brokerage account (available to International customers). They reimburse your ATM withdrawal fees.

250 is a lot, for example if you're withdrawing 300 baht, it's almost 100%. If you withdraw 1,000 baht it's still 25%.

@ElĆ­as *******
thats why you always withdraw 30k…

I’m not greedy but 250 is outrageous. It’s one of the highest atm fees in the world.

Anonymous participant 777 if you have a Non class or long term visa not tourist DTV as an example. For me personally, , it is a waste of time.... I can use Prompt Pay or scan from my bank accounts.
