If it's a VISA or MASTER card, you can use it in China where they're accepted. I'm not sure about other situations.

我只知道你可以在大的商店里直接刷credit card，他们通过中国银行charge你。会比直接带ｃａｓｈ再换人民币稍微贵一点点

大商场消费的话，很部划算，手续费很高的～

好象没什么手续费啊....我和LP在国内一酒店里用的早餐, 用AMEX划的, 记得就是按当天8.X的汇率CHARGE的, 没任何额外费用.....有种可能就是不同的地方不同的政策!

上次偶们是大商场刷卡买东西，加起来才1000来快RMB的东西吧，后来过了2天看帐单手续费很高的。。。。算了一下相当于利率是只算了8.0的样子～所以觉得不划算

但是国外的卡在国内刷应该都是经过中国银行转的呀，我想应该政策一样的吧。。。。。

想起来了, 我们当时住的是HOLIDAY INN. 是不是这种老外的酒店走账的方式不太一样啊............不懂!

有手续费吧。。。。上次俺在北京Hilton刷卡，charge 啦大概10刀的手续费。。。少量的话不怎么划算。干吗不带cash?

Thanks for all the replies.
I don't mean credit card, I'm not planning on making any big purchases.
I was hoping I can use my ATM/Check card to withdraw cash (RMB) in China. If that's not doable, I'm just going to open an account when I arrive, so I don't have to carry a lot of cash with me.
