Мне спрашивал много времен если карточки кредита и дебита можно использовать в Китае. Просто ответ находится ДА, в большинств городах. Hong Kong должно быть никакой проблемой, Shanghai и Beijing также не должно представить too many проблем. Nanning, Guangzhou и подобные города также должны быть ОДОБРЕНН.

Наклоняет… хотя ваша карточка будет обломоком и приколоть вас в почти всех случаях спросит, что «подписать для» не препятствуйте ему из вашего визирования.

Их можно использовать в большинстве более больших гостиниц, но не все карточки будут приняты, в моей ВИЗЕ опыта кажется, что находит само готово узнавать и после того как оно принято. Прежде чем вы выходите для Китая, сообщите ваш крен (для карточки дебита) и компания кредитной карточки что вы находитесь в Китае на, котор дали датах, они после этого flag вверх по вашему учету и вы много вопросов. Вы можете также все еще найти после того как ваша первая попытка на использовать то они все еще будет просклоняна с сообщением «refer to provider». Не паникует справедливый телефон ваши крен или компания кредитных карточек на ваше самом предыдущем. Концы… настолько всегда носят ваши номера телефона контакта карточки и крена с вами и также номерами к карточке рапорта потерянной или украденной.

На моих last few посещениях к Nanning я использовал и мою карточку и кредитную карточку дебита в универмагах гостиниц, и машинах ATM с меняя и перекатными градусами успеха. For instance, the ATM machines happily accept Debit cards but will vary on the daily amount given, I use Bank of China ATM’s only and found that at some Branches 2000RMB per day was permitted and others I was able to draw 3000RMB per day.

Tips…When the machines are empty of cash no indication was given, only that withdrawal was declined, it was only after asking the security guard (present in all Banks) that he informed me the machine was empty. So this could be misleading as the first reaction is to think someone has cleared your account out.

Tips… Also worth noting in the Department stores credit cards are preferred.There are numerous “pay” counters scattered around where you pay for your purchases, these vary in what they will accept, it is worth pointing out to the sales assistant that you will be paying by International card, she will then direct you to the correct counter. Internet connections are variable in China and as these transactions require Internet connection, sometimes this will be down and once again you will not be able to use your card. So in summary, Larger Hotels, Department stores and restaurants will in most cases accept International Credit cards and ATM’s will accept Debit cards.

Tips…Beware, never let the card out of your sight. Although your cards will be chip and pin it is highly likely that all transactions will be “sign for”

Do not be fooled by the reaction you might receive in smaller shops, they will appear at first to accept your card and go through the process of purchase, it is usually at this point the machine will reject it as they are not allowed to accept international transactions (only domestic transactions), it is likely that the shop staff have never encountered this before and it will throw them into orbit, managers will appear, your card will be passed from one to another, do not let it out of your sight and finally when all else fails they will probable offer to walk you to the nearest ATM to draw the cash. This happened to me in Nanning on my first visit, I declined there kind offer and walked away and ended up purchasing a similar product in the larger department store using my credit card.

Tips… When you do make purchases remember the Chinese are great hagglers. The only places where the prices are usually fixed and not negotiable are the large department stores but it might be worth a go. Everywhere else, especially the street vendors, Haggle, Haggle, Haggle the prices can be talked down. Ideally let a Chinese national do this for you. They know how to do it… and stay out of sight yourself, as soon as there is a glimpse of a westerner the price will double.
