I was able to receive a discount at the Turkey airport on my way to Santorini with Unionpay reward. Oh! And they give you a free sim data card to use in China which actually grants you VPN access!! I had no trouble using Instagram, and Youtube while in China.
1.49% FTF + up to $5.99 each reload makes it a worse deal than getting the ICBC credit card (assuming you can get the latter, of course). At least they finally got rid of the annual/monthly fee.
