So for overseas transaction (assuming if you are using CC to reload)

1. 1% charge to reload using CC.
2. Forex rate different charges.
3. Overseas transaction fee.

Gooding?
NO.

Back to CC you might get better benefits (i.e. PPL spending requirements etc).

Bye TnG, better just use Wise / CC / Cash.

Other than this, I don't see any benefit using it anymore besides toll.

They said they been subsidising it..

They been doing well right?

So put lower amount lah, 0.5% kot..

Or remove that 1% charge on CC.

nobody ain't got so many time to care for how many different 1% TnG charge
*
Right.

T20.. M40.. probably don't. They can afford it as part of the holiday expenses I guess

B40 probably carry cash. biggrin.gif

Problem is china don't use visa/MC, so except for international hotels and big department stores, you cannot use cc.

I suppose for small purchases the extra charges is not much and worth the convenience.

Yeah, and this is only applicable to China only.

The rest, can forget about TnG.

And soon you might find other e-wallets supported in China. or WeChat pay becomes more lenient.

if you mean money changer, their rate could be worse than visa/master rate.

if credit card, need to use unionpay. But smaller shops might not accept credit card. QR Payment is more common there. Other options would be Alipay or WeChat pay.
