Has anybody used this card in Mainland China yet? Im thinking about applying next week since I travel to Shenzhen every three months and most of the restaurants and shops there do not accept my Chase Sapphire Preferred card. I tried to open a China bank account to get a union pay debit card but that is really difficult to do now. I would like to use it for WeChat but I know they do not accept credit cards at this time or American based cards/accounts.

Please let me know if anybody used it in mainland china and haven't had an issue! I'm tired of carrying thousands of RMB with me at all times.

Also, does anybody know what the minimum credit score is to get approved for this credit card?

ICBC website says:

$50 cash bonus when you make $1,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening *
UnionPay card - widely accepted everywhere in China*************************
• EARN 1% cash back on every purchase *
• No foreign transaction fee and no liability on unauthorized purchases
• Rent your car with ICBC card and get auto rental collision damage waiver without paying extra §

Thank you!!!!!
