Methods of Payment
China Travel provides clear details about the expected payment on a booking, including the deposit and final payment. Ways to pay: PayPal, credit cards, WeChat Pay, Alipay, and wire transfer.
Deposit and Final Payment
A deposit that is equal to 10% of the total tour cost is required at the time of booking with China Travel. The full or final payment is required 30 days before departure for your China tour. Should the tour be booked within 30 days before departure for your China tour, full payment is required.
Methods of Payment
1. Visa or Master Card secure online payment via PayPal. When you receive our proposal with the quotation, in the email body, you will see a 'PAY NOW' symbol. Just click the icon on the email payment request, and you will be taken to the secure PayPal website to make payment. If you are a PAYPAL member, simply follow the usual system. If you are not a member, it's easy to join, and it's free!
Or you can pay us online to our PayPal account directly at pays@chinahighlights.com after logging in to your account at www.paypal.com.
2. Visa or Master Card by email. When you receive our proposal with a quotation, we will attach a "Credit Card Authorization Form" to the Email for you to fill out. Please open the attached file and fill out the required form, then email it to your travel advisor, with a copy of your credit card. If you prefer, you can scan the completed documents and email them to us.
Note: This is only a guarantee of your payment; we will not charge your card until we have confirmed all the bookings.
3. Wire transfer. If you are booking your tour 30 days before your departure date, you may choose to make the payment by wire transfer. Important Notes for those who make the payment through wire transfer:
- Please include your tracking code on the transfer sheet when you are making a wire transfer to the bank.
- After you have made the wire transfer to your bank, please make a copy of the transaction receipt or stub issued by the bank, write down your tracking code on the copy, and send it to your travel advisor. Once we have received your payment receipt, we will start to secure your booking.
4. Mobile payments: If you have a WeChat or Alipay account linked to a China bank account or an international credit card like Visa or Mastercard, simply scan the company QR code on the quotation letter to complete the payment.
Disclaimer of Difference Caused by Exchange Rate (For clients who make payment by credit card only)
China Travel will draw Chinese currency (CNY) from your credit card. The Credit Card Company or Bank will convert this amount to the currency of your credit card account. China Travel converts Chinese currency to US Dollars at a rate of CNY7.02 = USD1 for our quotations, but must charge your credit card in CNY (Note: China Travel will apply the latest exchange rate, which may differ from the one shown above.).
Banks and credit card companies must then buy Chinese currency at their local rate to make the payment. The rate may be more or less than our rate. Banks and credit card companies may also charge a service charge for the transaction. For these reasons, what appears on your bank statement may be more (or even less) than what you were expecting.
Note: Before you pay, please check our exchange rate against your bank's exchange rate and your bank's transaction fee policy.
China Travel currently quotes tour prices in US Dollars on our website to give you an idea of the tour cost and quotes in CNY to you at the time when you are making bookings.
1. Should a revaluation of the Chinese Renminbi occur, China Travel will honor all quotations for tours that have been fully paid at the time of the revaluation.
2. Customers who have not paid for their tour in full at the time of any revaluation will be required to pay the difference between the old and new prices calculated in Renminbi. China Travel will never charge more than the quotation that has been accepted by you, our client.
