I'm in Beijing and I see that there is a JP Morgan Chase Bank here. Does anyone know if they are open on Saturday and is it a full service branch? If it is I can walk in with my Chase credit cards and id to do a cash advance without a pin.

My last resort will be to send myself a MoneyGram via credit card and pick it up at the Bank of China.

Any other suggestions from anyone?

This was such a rookie move for me to not double check that I had everything that I need.
I use MoneyGram sometimes when I want to send people USD quickly, and it works quite well with reasonable fees.

I give the JP Morgan approach low enough odds that I wouldn't bother.
