I just received and activated the card yesterday.

Chinese hotel 220V should be fine for laptops and phones that are normally used in the US, right? Sorry for the silly question!

I am asking about 220V vs. 110V, not power adapter

Is there anywhere on the OnePlus 12R or its charger that shows the input voltage rating (e.g., "Input: 100–240V")?

So, I need a power adapter and a travel power bank for my phone, right? I need to order them on Amazon. Is there anything else I’m missing?

Do we need to carry cash in Taiwan, or will U.S. credit cards generally work there?

I could not add my Fidelity Visa credit card to Alipay’s Bank Cards. The verification failed even though I’m sure that all the information I entered is accurate. I’m wondering if Fidelity may not allow its Visa credit cards to be added to Alipay.

I’m planning to travel to several countries/regions in Asia and may need to use my Debit Card to withdraw some local currency from ATMs.

Are there any fees?

1. Foreign ATM withdrawals: Are there any fees for withdrawing foreign currency using my Fidelity Debit Card?
2. Foreign transaction fees: Does Fidelity charge a foreign transaction fee when I withdraw cash or make purchases overseas?
3. Currency conversion: How is the exchange rate determined when a foreign-currency ATM withdrawal is converted to U.S. dollars? Is there any additional currency conversion fee or markup?

Do you use the standalone DiDi app, or do you use DiDi through Alipay?

US Passport: If I enter Taiwan from China, do I need to show proof of onward travel or a exit ticket when entering Taiwan?

I already have a confirmed ticket from Hong Kong to the United States. Would that ticket be accepted as proof that I will leave Taiwan before the date of my flight from Hong Kong to the US?

I’d like to avoid booking too early and having my travel schedule tied down.

I would like to confirm the requirements for my upcoming trip, particularly whether I need to show exit ticket when entering China.

I hold a valid 10-year, multiple-entry Chinese visa. This is not a 240-hour Transit Without Visa (TWOV) arrangement. China is my main destination.

My international itinerary (ticket booked) is a round trip between the United States and Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific. I will enter mainland China from Hong Kong by high-speed train. After traveling in China, I plan to leave mainland China from either Shanghai or Beijing and fly to Taiwan.

1. When entering mainland China from Hong Kong by high-speed train with a valid 10-year multiple-entry visa, am I required to show a confirmed exit ticket from China?
2. If an onward ticket is required, do I need to book flight from Shanghai or Beijing to Taiwan satisfy this requirement?
3. When subsequently entering Taiwan, will I also be required to show a confirmed exit ticket to Hong Kong?
4. My planned itinerary after Taiwan is Taiwan → Hong Kong → United States.

I’m not sure yet whether my last destination in China will be Beijing or Shanghai or another city. I’d like to avoid booking too early and having my travel schedule tied down.

If exit ticket is required, I may to book exit ticket well in advance.

Edit: by the way, I have ticket from Hong Kong back to US, can it be proof that I will exit China?

My international ticket has been booked, round trip between US and Hong Kong (Cathay Pacific), entering China by high speed train, China is my destination.

I’m planning a trip to Taiwan (last destination) around December 20 from one of Chinese cities. I’m trying to keep my itinerary flexible because I’m not sure yet whether my last destination in China will be Beijing or Shanghai or another city. I’d like to avoid booking too early and having my travel schedule tied down.

Since this will be outside the major holiday season, do you think it would be reasonably easy to book the flights less than two days in advance? And would the prices still be reasonable, or would they become significantly more expensive at the last minute?

Edit: I have a 10-year multiple-entry visa. This is not a 240-hour Transit Without Visa (TWOV) arrangement.

I have already booked a round-trip ticket between the U.S. and China through the Cathay Pacific website. After completing the booking, I realized that I did not provide my Global Entry number (PASSID/KTN) during the reservation process.

I don't recall seeing a field asking for a Global Entry number/Known Traveler Number when I made the reservation.

How do you usually book a multi-city flight itinerary? Do you book each leg separately through different airlines, or do you prefer using a third-party site like Priceline or Expedia(easier and more convenient to book)?

I haven’t made a final decision yet, but I’m thinking the route will be something like: US → Hong Kong → China → UK → US. I’d probably fly into Hong Kong, take the train to China, then fly from China to the UK and eventually back to the US.

Based on Google Flights’ recommendations, it looks like I may need to book through two different airlines, and the cheapest options include booking through Ovago. I’ve never heard of Ovago before, though, so I’m a little hesitant to use it.

My Fios CR1000B router has been losing the internet connection multiple times a day for the past week. Each time, the connection can be restored by unplugging the router from power and then plugging it back in.

My house is currently undergoing major repairs because I am preparing to put it on the market. At first, I thought the workers might have accidentally damaged or loosened an Ethernet cable somewhere, but that does not seem to be the case. The fact that power-cycling the router consistently restores the connection makes me suspect the router itself.

I am also wondering if the router could be overheating or having some other hardware issue. There has been no work done in the room where the router is located, so it seems unlikely that dust or construction debris has gotten into the router.

I will be relocating and returning the Fios router in less than two months, so I would prefer not to replace the router at this point if possible, too busy to deal with house repairing and relocating. I regret selling G3100 router (for only $15) a few weeks ago, otherwise I could use it for now, there is something wrong with this CR1000B.

I tried using compressed air to clean the router and the Ethernet cable ports, just in case the issue was related to dust.

I suspect it may be related to the recent house repair project, since I had not experienced this problem before the repairs started. However, I’m not sure what exactly is causing the issue.

Has anyone been able to sign up for a Cathay Pacific membership? I tried to sign up before booking a flight with them, but I keep getting an error message(Error code: ERR_MPO_MSSMO_3153), tried different numbers and different browsers, even its official android app. I suspect there may be an issue with their IT system sending the one-time verification code to U.S. mobile numbers. Has anyone else experienced this?

Which airlines do you prefer between US and China? I use Google Flights, and the cheaper options always seem to end up being Cathay Pacific.

I’m hoping everything goes smoothly without any issues, but if there is a problem, such as a flight cancellation or a schedule change, which one is generally better when it comes to customer service and processing refunds?

The reason I’m considering using a third-party travel portal is that I’m planning to book a round-trip ticket between the U.S. and Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific. I’m not sure whether my U.S. Bank credit card would charge a foreign transaction fee if I book directly through the Cathay Pacific website.

With Priceline or Expedia, I believe the transaction would be processed as a U.S. transaction, so I wouldn’t have to worry about a foreign transaction fee. I’m mainly interested in putting this purchase on one of my new credit cards to meet the minimum spending requirement for the sign-up bonus, but I also want to make sure that I won’t be charged a foreign transaction fee.

For this situation, would Priceline or Expedia be the better option, particularly in terms of customer service and handling refunds or flight changes?
