Q: Do you have a loyalty card with the shops you frequent?

I think most are pretty useless, but e.g. the hairdresser I go to is half price for customers with a loyalty card (30 vs 60 rmb) Some supermarkets offer a small discount at checkout or some useless gift at the end of the year.

I think they are useful if you will be in one place for a year or longer. I had one for the supermarket, and my gf uses it when I am not in China so you get some freebies now and then.

Yes I do. Tesco offers discounts and also you can get RMB for points. I have like 2000 points so far. It ain't big thing but it is a deal anyway. Lately I stopped shopping at this supermarket because everything it's expired. When I say everything, I mean it. Nothing it's within the expiry date limits.  

Hulk:

I have one for a local supermarket here, but I've never gotten anything from it after 9 months, so... I wonder what the point is.

Yeah, I use a card for my local RT-Mart.  It's a lot like my Kroger card from back in the US (big supermarket chain, for those who might not know).  The card was free, but gets you a discount on certain sale items.  If you try to buy those items on sale, without a card, the checkout lady will look at you funny and assume you didn't really mean to buy it.  So I just got the card to avoid any confusion.

Yup I have one for the main grocery store I go to.  I've never sat down and figured out how much I'm saving but im sure it's a pertty big difference over time.  Most items are 0.10-0.30 cheaper with a card, which isn't much but over time it adds up for sure.

Oh. I just remember. IKEA, if you have their loyalty card, has free coffee on weekdays. The coffee in IKEA Guangzhou is ok (for China) if one wants to fight the crowds

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change student visa to labourer one is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
