YouTrip for Taipei

[twosix]

I think Trust lose out on Youtrip base on exchange rate.

I think only those who uses it frequently will know for sure. I also heard Trust is great in Malaysia, I also heard Youtrip is best in Malaysia. I will know when I use them myself. haha.

I've used youtrip and revolut in JB on the same trip before on a weekday. Very close the exchange rates, and the rates changes everytime when used on the same cards too.

I just applied my youtrip card which I added it to my Google Wallet.

So as first time user, I can just tap the Youtrip card via the Google Wallet and without doing anything?

It's a debit card. You need to top up with some singapore $ first.

Should be good to go. If in doubt, use it to pay for something in sg first to ensure it works.

Try using it on public transport first, should work fine as long as there's money in your account.

Yah. Dun change too much cash and get stuck with it. Last time dun have yt, change too much and lugi on the exchange rates.

My experience this year
cash >>> trust >youtrip
The cash exchange in SG is mucher higher than Google rate. Trust and youtrip around Google rate but trust only better than utrip by 0.00
