He signed up for the beta test program and obtained the Alipay HK 1.3.0 apk early
I cannot 100% vouch for the provenance of his APK (current production Google Play download is 1.2.0), but I've used it to generate transaction below and it appears to be genuine.
I'm not sure if I am allowed to post the APK link online but PM me if you want it.

We don't have the earn rates confirmed just yet, but a lot of banks (BoC (i-card), CCB (eye), SCB (SCB AM), DSB BA), Bankcomm (FWD Plat Visa) and BEA (Flyer World)) are all treating it as online retail spending ATM - a lot of the banks may change their minds when it comes to rebating promos tho (this is where the delayed rebate really works for the banks).
Edit 18/10: HSBC is a no here.
