By the way, another dumb question. Now that I have AliPay setup with a Chinese phone number, foreign credit card, and not that prepaid thing, are there legitimate places I can add cash to my AliPay balance? Like, can I go to an ATM using my US-issue card to withdraw cash. Instead of taking actual cash, can I scan AliPay and have the money go in there? Or are there machines that can recharge AliPay balance using cash? Not sure if you guys travel to Japan, but Japan is just perfect. I can recharge IC at every transit station.
