#1 Post at 14-4-2011 19:20  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Credit cards at Saunas Hey, anybody know any Saunas in Macau that accept AMEX? Lost my cards last weekend, so not enough cash for punting. Will take another week to get my Visa cards here, but AMEX was fast. At least I know I can buy dinner at a casino...

#8 Post at 15-4-2011 01:36  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #1 max45's post Very brave of you to charge the sauna activity. You probably know there is a record.  If someone else see it, you might get in trouble.  I have used a credit credit like you once because I didn't have enough money.   One time I was in China in a hotel leaving paying the bill, my card didn't go thur.  I had used it a few times already during my trip.  I was real pissed off.  Lucky I just had enough cash to pay. I told them to take it out of the security deposit on the credit card when I first check in. They said no which I didn't know why. When I got back home, I called the credit card company. They gave a dumb excuse about my card being compromise.  In other words, I think someone got a hold of my credit card number and try to use it.

#9 Post at 15-4-2011 01:56  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L My credit card companies keep freezing my account whenever I use them while travelling (even within the US) due to their "anti-fraud" protection. It's a major pain in the ass since my card has never been misplaced/misused in my many years of having it.

However, Western Union came through today, so I'm back in business. Watch out ladies, I've got a week of missed mongering to let out of the cage!

These harges are tracked and if u have someone at home that mighy go tbru ur bill it is pretty bad. Maybe u shoukd wait for a card to ckme tben use cash. N u never know how people in china are. They migt do some identity fraud. Either way be safe

#17 Post at 12-10-2013 11:38  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #16 lad's post I believe they do.  I was just there and payed by card, although it was UnionPay.  However I think I remember they did accept Visa/MC. To the old topic... I once lost my MC on the mainland and my US bank overnighted me a new card.  It took about 40 minutes on the phone to verify I really was who I said I was and why I wanted a card sent to China, but I had informed them ahead of time that I would be there, and really they were very helpful.  I don't think they even charged me for it.
