FYI, GX Bank card linked to Alipay doesn't work in China. You may need to use alternative card like Bigpay/Wise.

so confirm dont work at china?

tried that last month, luckily i have BigPay on standby

it does work actually

just doesn't work every time

fails periodically and may have to retry a couple times then it works.

I went a number of places in China using Alipay+  and also cash. Yet to meet a merchant without change. Using taxis it's better to use Didi rather than cash as my last experience using cash for taxis got overcharged even using meter. My fault actually for not being observant enough.

Nope. I link Wise to Alipay+ app and use Didi from Alipay app(i do have standalone Didi app though). In Japan though i use Gxbank debit card to buy shinkasen but must remember to activate it for overseas use. Infact most debit card must activate fir overseas use.

At present I am in Thailand now, purchases using Gxbank card today with a conversion rate of 7.63 and including 1% cashback makes it worth using. Must remember to select payment in baht though on the reader, if not will need pay merchant conversion of 7.30 and still not including fees.
