Icoca & Haruka / Kansai One Pass

Hello everyone, 3 days from now I'll be in Kansai so I need to book one of these online ASAP as the term for them is between 2 and 27 days before arriving, I believe.

To clear some things off, after thorough searches (yeah, I'm that bad, can't even get info about some simple documents haha) I came to the following conclusion, and please correct me. Afterwards, I'll explain the issue I have. So, about the two:

From what I see, both the pass and the ICOCA & Haruko are pretty much the same thing, aren't they? Basically, a rechargeable value card that already comes with a certain amount of money on it upon buying, that you can afterwards recharge so you won't have to pay with cash in stores or buy physical tickets on buses/trains/subways. Have I got everything right so far, hmm?

In which case, wouldn't I be better off buying the Kansai One Pass? As it offers me everything ICOCA and Haruka offers and more (discounts at certain places throughout Kansai Region).

Now, there's one thing I do not understand and also my main issue, does anyone know how big these discounts are and at which spots they apply exactly? Cause if I go on their page and chose for Benefit spots, I'm taken to another page where it shows me some places where I might get a discount using this Pass: http://kansaionepass.com/en/list/category/benefitspots

My confusion lays in the fact that if I press on Select a Region and go for Kyoto *one of the places I'll be in for 4 days*, are the results I'm getting places where Kansai One Pass will get me a discount? Or just popular places to visit? Cause some of them are free of charge so I don't understand why would that be a discounted place if there's no fee to begin with? Confused...

Also, on the ICOCA and Haruka page it says the following: "If you would like to change ICOCA card of ICOCA & HARUKA to Kansai One Pass and make a booking online,
please select gUnnecessaryh for gNumber of ICOCA cards for each designh in the application form."

Does this mean that I can book for an ICOCA and Haruka but instead get a Kansai One Pass if I select gUnnecessaryh for gNumber of ICOCA cards for each designh in the application form."? Or that I need to already own an ICOCA and Haruka before arriving in Kansai so I can change it to a Kansai One Pass?

And one last thing, can I use this card for both me and my girlfriend? Can we both get on busses/trains using this card or does she also have to own one?

Thank you very much, sorry for the wall of text but I needed to know that I explained everything in details so I get the specific answers I'm looking for. Have a good day.

Sameful self-bumb :3

Yep, got it.

Cause if I go on their page and chose for Benefit spots, I'm taken to another page where it shows me some places where I might get a discount using this Pass:

Places with a discount or some other benefit will say "benefit" in red. Clicking on the location will show you the exact benefit you get.

Does this mean that I can book for an ICOCA and Haruka but instead get a Kansai One Pass if I select gUnnecessaryh for gNumber of ICOCA cards for each designh in the application form."?

It sounds like the former instead of the latter.

Both if you will need your own pass.
