Alipay/Wechat + Wise card.
Touchngo is 2% above spot, pretty high, and you cant pay to individuals. Alipay app can, and you can call Didi, Luckin Coffee, rent powerbank and bike inside Alipay.

QUOTE(achong09 @ Apr 1 2024, 04:44 PM) Alipay higher rate than touch n go la i just confirm leh... Alipay charges the card in CNY, Alipay doesn't handle the conversion themselves.I dont have wise card..😢  It's your fault for not having a low-forex card. |

QUOTE(westlife @ Mar 28 2024, 12:15 AM) as a malaysian we can use wechat pay also? wechat pay requires china mobile no is it? I managed to use wechat pay in china with a Malaysia number on account. Just came back after a week there.Alipay app + their mini apps kick ass too, I managed to call didi rides (intracity and intercity), rent halo bicycles, rent jiedian powerbanks, order luckin coffee. KFC and some restaurants can be ordered in wechat QR too, then pay with foreign cards. I just do alipay/wechat & wise card, good rates. |

QUOTE(adele123 @ May 5 2024, 03:38 PM) Hello, want to check with you, did you tie your wechat pay with a malaysian debit card/credit card? so no issue all the way? I used alipay + Wise Singapore's debit card, no issue at all. I even got back my jiedian powerbank rental deposit of CNY 99 after the trip.Also to other people... do you use ctrip or Trip for hotel booking? i have just started planning but ctrip looks a tad cheaper than trip for the same hotel. but i think there's verification on the ctrip. more work for me. Wechat pay I used only once, with SG Wise card also. Not sure bout malaysia debit card. |
