Was flicking through the recent issue of beijing timeout, and saw an ad for mastercard 'priceless beijing'. They have designated beijing as a 'priceless city', along with london/nyc/toronto etc.

There are a bunch of offers, most of them fairly useless but not entirely so. Obviously, one needs a MC to avail oneself of the offers. For the visitor, a third night free at week-ends at SPG hotels looks fairly decent. For residents, I was attracted by the 'child flies free' to london/nyc etc, except for the fact it's only on wednesdays...which rules out any travel plans we may have.
