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 CNY 607 = US$1 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 make 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 quote 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 our quotation that has been accepted by you, our client.
