where did you use it? i used my BoA (1% fee) at a papajohns (newly opened out in the boonies, no westerners), a couple large bookstores half a subway stop away from people's square, and a place selling olympic stuff. nobody noticed or said anything about it being a "real" visa. i ignore the unionpay and just look for the "visa" logo (ive never seen any other logo, such as MC or AMEX). has worked for me but im sure there's people with more experience on this board.
