Payment Guide

China Odyssey Tours will provide you with a quote calculated in Chinese currency-CNY, as well as the equivalent quote in USD based on the current exchange rate between them. Please note our quote in USD may change slightly due to the fluctuation of the exchange rate, though CNY quote remains the same (You can find reference exchange rate at BOC EXCHANGE RATE).

After you confirm your itinerary with us, we will request you to pay a deposit to secure the booking. On average, the deposit is 15% of the total tour price. The amount of deposit may be adjusted by your travel consultant based on your actual itinerary and group size, and the balance should be paid at least 30 days before your tour date. Full payment is required if your tour is booked within 30 days before departure.

Credit Card

A. Credit Card (Online payment)

China Odyssey Tours accepts Visa Card and MasterCard, but not debit card. To finish the payment, please click the "Pay Now" button on the link sent over by your travel consultant via email. You will then finish your payment through Bank of China (one of the biggest state-owned commercial banks in China).

B. American Express Credit Card Authorization Form

China Odyssey Tours accepts American Express payment with a clear photo/scan of the Authorization Form, but not debit card. Your travel consultant will send the Authorization Form via email for you to print and fill out.

* Three Steps to complete the credit card payment authorization:

Step 1: Print and fill out the Credit Card Payment Authorization Form with your VALID credit card information (card type, number, card holder's name, billing address, and card holder's signature, etc.).

Step 2: Scan or take photos of the completed Credit Card Payment Authorization Form, both sides of your credit card and your passport, then send the original image files to your travel consultant.

Important note: To make sure the scan or photos are legible for the bank to process the authorization, we recommend you use a high-resolution camera to take the photos and email us the original digital image files.

Step 3: After we receive your authorization documents, we will acknowledge the receipt by sending you an email and send the documents to Bank of China who will help us get your payment from your credit card issuing bank.

* Please Note:

According to the rules of the Chinese Government, we are not allowed to charge in foreign currencies. So the payments on our side is charged in CNY based on the current exchange rates in China. Your card issuing bank will charge you in local currency and China Odyssey Tours have no control on the exchange rate employed by your card company. As a result, there might be a subtle difference between the final amount charged from your credit card and the amount identified on the Credit Card Authorization Form.

Usually, it takes 2-5 days for the payment reach on our side, so if you make the payment less than 10 days prior to your arrival date, credit card won't be accepted by us.

Electronic/Wire Transfer

It's easy to pay through Electronic/Wire Transfer; however, it could take 3 - 7 days for the payment to reach our side. Due to this reason, for clients who make a booking less than 30 days before arrival, China Odyssey Tours can't accept an Electronic/Wire Transfer.
