Has anyone used the Scapia Federal Credit Card with Alipay in China?

Hi everyone,

I am travelling to China soon and planning to use Alipay for day-to-day payments.

I have the Scapia Federal Credit Card and wanted to know from people who have actually used it in China:

  • Did payments work smoothly at shops, restaurants, metro, etc.?
  • Did you face transaction declines or card/payment restrictions?
  • How was the overall experience with Scapia + Alipay in China?
  • Were there unexpected charges, forex issues or other problems?

Also, has anyone tried linking the same Scapia card to two different Alipay accounts, for example mine and my spouse’s?

I would really appreciate feedback from anyone who has personally used Scapia with Alipay in China, especially recently. Thanks!

You do not need to worry too much in advance. Link the card to Alipay before you arrive and test whether the binding succeeds. If it links successfully, it should be available for normal Alipay payments in China; if the binding fails, you will need another card or method.

Also download WeChat as a backup payment app for Alipay.
