    CCB (Asia) Octopus UnionPay Dual Currency Credit Card

    Does anyone have the combined CCB (Asia) Octopus UnionPay Dual Currency Credit Card?

    China Construction Bank (Asia) - Personal Banking - Credit Cards - CCB (Asia) Octopus UnionPay Dual Currency Credit Card

    1. Does it have no annual fee?

    2. How well does the RMB and HKD credit card Unionpay function work?

    Thanks

    i just got one of this
    China Construction Bank (Asia) - Credit Cards - CCB (Asia) Octopus UnionPay Dual Currency Credit Card
    it has unionpay in HKD, unionpay in RMB, and octopus. i now carry 2 less cards in my wallet.
    you'll need to open a ccb savings/checking account to autopay the RMB credit card

    Do you see your individual Octopus transactions in your credit card statement? Or is it the usual 250 HKD at a time?

    A lot of places in China only take Union Pay and not Visa or Mastercard so it would def be useful.

    I have the Citibank version of this for use in China.

    Question

    On the same subject: this card (CCB (Asia) Octopus UnionPay Dual Currency Credit Card) is mentioned here:

    http://www.octopus.com.hk/get-your-o.../en/index.html

    And here:

    http://www.bestmoney.hk/en/credit-card

    as having a "perpetual annual fee waiver", which sounds great to me. However, I'm unable to find a confirmation of this fact on the bank's site. Can anyone see it?
