Hi all,
I am travelling to Shanghai next month and I would like to know how people pay for products/services/meals - Card or cash?
I am with ANZ and I understand for every card transaction performed o/s, I will be charged conversion fees.
Is there another facility/method of payment people can use to avoid conversion fees?
I was told today that a mastercard travel passport should be used overseas to avoid this, however, I have found out that it cannot be loaded with RMB?
It can be filled with all other major currencies - except the RMB.
I do not intend to carry cash.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
