American Express Card is a kind of credit card, which generally refers to American Express Card. The first American Express card was issued from 1958, mainly serving high-end customers. It has been launched for a hundred years and has been issued in cooperation with many institutions. Domestic American Express cards include China Merchants Bank American Express Card, CITIC American Express Card and Great Wall American Express Card. Individuals can't take the initiative to apply, only the bank can invite them to open.
American express card requires the cardholder 18~60 years old, good credit information, valid identification and financial proof (different banks have different requirements) to be invited. Users can enjoy many rights and interests after owning this card, and daily life will also bring convenience.
For ordinary users, it is enough to apply for an ordinary credit card at ordinary times, which can be handled directly at the bank official website or the bank counter. The amount of credit granted by different channels may be different when applying. Usually, the more financial certificates you submit, the more credit lines the bank will give.
Users should repay on time after daily use, and there should be no overdue repayment, because overdue repayment will affect personal credit information, which will affect the handling of various loans after credit information becomes worse. In fact, when the credit card can't repay on time, you can use installment repayment or minimum repayment.
Can I use American Express credit card in China?
American Express Credit Card can be used in China.
Because if the American Express card handled by the customer is double-marked, then the customer can swipe the card directly in the domestic UnionPay channel.
If the American Express card handled by customers is single standard++,customers can swipe their cards in high-end places such as star-rated hotels and clubs, although they cannot swipe their cards in the UnionPay channel, because these places have special channels for swiping American Express cards; Or customers can go to Haitao's website and pay online with American Express card.
