QUOTE(Natsukashii @ Jan 30 2024, 10:49 AM) A question for everyone, but especially for those who uses credit card overseas You know when you apply the card, you can have a name different than your real name? Do you follow your real name? Do you put initial or fake or nickname? In this case, has there been any issue? I'm using fake name so concerned if it's usable or not, or else better I change first.. You will face issues in places like Japan or Korea, as they will verify your CC to your ID for tax refund purposes. But you can use the card without issue, just might not be able to get refunds.

I had no issue in BIC, but I had issue in some of the Ginza shops. I also faced the same issue in Samsung Lotte mall or whatever in SK.

QUOTE(incubus_skj @ Jan 30 2024, 04:57 PM) then was the issue settled? like they just ask "eh your name on passport and on cc tak sama? ok" cause memang is no problem ma, fly so many years so many place buy stuff never had to explain before to customs. last year go bkk buy Lady D-Lite for wife also pass customs at the VAT counter no ask anything pun Nope, my CC name is just my english name and surname, my passport is cina. I just used my SO's card settle. I genuinely don't know why. For example, here's a thread as well on this shit: https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravelTips/co..._free_in_tokyo/Maybe like they say, I met a strict ass that don't like me kot.
