Is the Gold Card experiment a flop?

BTW all the figures I mentioned above, of up to say NT$500k for your first month here - should be brought as cash.

I haven’t been here that long, but I brought less than 20% of that

My first thread, memories

Arrival - Money | How much cash to bring to Taiwan (CREAM)?

In the end I brought $20000, because I had to taxi from Taoyuan instead of KHH (long story) and have to pay for a COVID test at the end of quarantine. The hotel wanted cash for the food part of my stay, which was unexpected so good thing I had extra. For my case, if I could go back in time I’d advise myself to bring $30000 NTD so I don’t have to look for an ATM as soon as I’m out of quarantine.

Looks like I brought 20K, wished I had 30K
