I'm heading back to USA soon for a Family-and-Friends Tour, and am toying with the idea of applying for a Discover card while there. Any merits to getting the debit version (which I think is now offered) over the standard credit card version--from a Chinese system acceptance standpoint?
Just make them swipe it: Discover = UnionPay.
