This thread will be the source of many a questions to haunt the mind of any newcomer who just joined.
Most of us whos been on here for a while now knows that the Visa does get you into China. Mastercard and Amex only gets you an isolated 4 foot square cell at Quincheng. This may not be the accomodation of preference. However if you like all flavors of China you may very well opt for the MC/Amex option when you reach the customs. You are not enforced to leave China before your Visa expires but experienced travelers share the common opinion that it will make your stay in China far more pleasant if you actually do. Beware that some of these photoshopped individuals you may actually encounter in real could have a severe impact on the longevity of your Visa, and may even seek to abuse the sweeter bits of life it can provide if used properly. It should not affect expiry date however.
