Hi, wanna ask about the Alipay app usage in China. Noticed that there's this Didi sub-app within Alipay. May I know if I can use this instead of the standalone Didi app when travelling (ride hailing) in China?

And if I'm to use this Didi sub-app under the Alipay, I believe it will deduct the amount from the linked credit card right? If I have the options of linking GX card, TnG Visa card, and those normal bank credit cards, which one will have better rate in term of forex and bank charges?

Thanks

Is the fare the same on Didi standalone app vs the sub-app in the Alipay app?

Also I tried to use it just now and noticed that there are a few options as per the screenshot below. May I know if I shall just select the cheapest one?

How about the upfront vs approx fare? Does it means fixed fare vs by meter?

Thanks

Cheapest one usually need wait longer to get a car; which is expected.
Never compare stanalone app vs sub-app; but China is way more competitive environment compare to MY, I dont presume they will wanna kill themselve with such silly pratices.

Also wanna ask about the Alipay app. Currently it's just linked to my Taobao account for online payment. If now I want to use it for physical payment in China, do I need to do any extra setting? Or just scan the code and the paymemt will be deducted from the linked cards?

Thanks

Just add your VISA/MASTERCARD credit card to Alipay, then eveytime u make payment is charge to your own credit card.
