Very convenient to use it when come to payment, public transportation & didi (aka grab) inside the mini program. Enjoy travelling as a free backpacker what is the use of amap? |

QUOTE(honsiong @ Apr 1 2024, 05:44 PM) 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. i had been paying using alipay that linked to my ocbc credit card (bolehland one). all the while no extra charge, but today i paid a purchase rmb552... i was charged 3% up front upon payment... why is it? |
