Bump
Haha, I still remember. The problem is, I can't get one myself yet. My bank won't allow me to use it without a Chinese National ID...for now. I know they were used at the Olympics, but I don't know how and if that was a special case or not.
I don't know what you're willing to share and what you're not, but are you saying that you'll be getting a Chinese National ID and once you do, then you'll be able to get one of these?
Do you know if there's only one version of these cards being made? Do they all have a name on them?
Would be awesome if you were able to talk someone in to selling theirs.. I will pay up
I appreciate you keeping this in mind still.Oh I mean the ID number given to Chinese citizens, like a social security number in the U.S. I'm not a Chinese citizen and never will be, so there are a lot of things I can't do as a foreigner. I think they will eventually expand it to everyone but right now it's still kind of an experiment. I don't even know if there are physical cards. No one here uses physical cards for anything. Everything is done with apps on their phones and mini-apps through WeChat or Alipay. I've never seen a physical card used to pay anywhere besides a hotel. I want to ask about it, but it's complicated with the language barrier. Most Chinese nationals I've spoken to are completely perplexed when I mention the digital yuan or the e-cny. I see the logo for it at some stores but it's very rare.
