Tax refund at the airport, cash, credit card or Alipay, which is more advantageous?
the steps of the three tax refund methods are basically the same, and the handling fee and exchange rate are also set by the tax refund company, but Alipay directly refunds RMB, which saves time and worry. The first step is to fill out the tax refund form in advance. Step two, go to the airport to find the customs stamp. There will be a difference in the third step. 1) Cash refund: pay the bill at the tax refund counter, refund the local currency, and queue up for RMB exchange. 2) Credit card refund: mail the tax refund form and wait for 3-5 months to get it. 3) Return Alipay: If the airport supports Alipay real-time tax refund, just find the Global Blue tax refund counter, submit the tax refund form, and let the staff scan your Alipay collection QR code, and the RMB will arrive at the account immediately. No need to queue up for RMB exchange. If the airport supports Alipay to mail the tax refund, it will arrive in 1 working days at the earliest after the tax refund form is delivered. The handling fee and exchange rate are set by the tax refund company. Please note that Alipay does not charge any additional handling fee.
