What card can I use for traveling abroad for automatic refund?

So far, there are four ways of tax refund abroad, namely cash, credit card, check and Alipay, which are introduced in detail below. By the way, I personally recommend Alipay, which is convenient and quick, and has a reminder function after payment.

1. Cash tax rebate: its advantage is that it can be obtained immediately, and countries with preferential consumption tax rebate can handle it after the merchants who support shopping tax rebate spend it; The disadvantage is that the procedures are complicated, and there are often long queues waiting, preparing materials and changing money. And choosing other countries' currencies requires high currency conversion fees.

2. Check the return: the advantage is that it is more convenient in the early stage. After the consumer fills in the documents at the exit airport and sends them back to the relevant place, the customs officers will mail the cheque to the address left by the consumer. But there are also many shortcomings in the later period. In addition to time-consuming, consumers have to spend more postage to send checks. After receiving the check, the consumer must take the check to the bank for deposit. After deducting all kinds of postage and handling fees, I'm afraid the amount I really get is not much.

3. Credit card tax refund: The simplest tax refund method is to return the credit card. However, if you choose credit card tax refund, the credit card submitted by tourists must be an international credit card, such as a credit card with VISA and MASTER CARD logo. The disadvantage is that it is more troublesome to trace. Even if you apply for a credit card tax refund, you will still worry that the money will not be refunded. Because in any case, if the tax refund company does not receive the stamped tax refund form (even if the mail is lost), the tax refund company has the right to deduct this tax from your credit card.

Moreover, when using the international standard credit card for tax refund, the currency of tax refund is the currency used when swiping the card, and the US dollar will be refunded when swiping the card. The money will be charged to the credit card account. If the money needs to be used in China, converting it into RMB will generate a currency conversion fee of 1%~2%.

However, in view of this situation, UnionPay recently opened a fast overseas tax rebate for the first time. The tax paid by the cardholder after the KTIS tax refund business partner swipes the UnionPay card can be automatically returned to the UnionPay card for shopping settlement when leaving the country. Cardholders can also complete cash tax refund through KTIS's 24-hour self-service tax refund terminals at Incheon, Gimpo and Jeju airports without additional application or registration.

4. Alipay Tax Refund: Consumers can use Alipay to apply for tax refund when shopping in Europe and other places. The tax refund can be paid to Alipay within 10 working days at the earliest, which supports Alipay wallet to query the payment status in real time.
