What was the most confusing part of setting up your Climate Card properly?

Buying the card looks like the easy part. After that it seems like people still get stuck on registration, recharging, bike access, phone compatibility, missed tap issues, all kinds of little nonsense. If you actually use the Climate Card in Korea, what part was weirdly unclear or annoying for you at the start?

The weirdest part for me was that buying it was easy but understanding the registration logic was not. A lot of people assume the card itself is the whole setup, then later realize bike access, recharge method, or phone compatibility depends on which version they bought and whether they registered it correctly. Very Korea, very “simple” on the poster.
