It was my first time using it, but when I paid, I just had to show the barcode screen to the staff, and if I had any shortfalls I could pay with a credit card or cash, which was convenient! I used it at the Gangnam store.

bought 2 and used at 2 different stores. the first time was pretty easy but the second cashier was a little confused. took quite some time for her to figure out after asking others. but overall worth to buy if you have a discount code
