Are you saying they pass every transaction to your Visa card as a separate transaction? I am asking because I am trying to figure out how to do expense report through Concur
These transactions are with Visa directly linked to AliPay (see the last step of my post above). Not TourCard. YariGuy is using the same method.
Yes each transaction is passed individually. Though they all don't say anything descriptive which is unhelpful for expense reporting

Now that you mention this, I tried again (after I linked a Chinese phone number to my WeChat). It succeeded with passport and foreign credit card. I need to do a bunch more verification though (inputting the same data) and I need my Chinese SIM card which I don't have right now. Will try in a few weeks
