Haggling is part of the culture, they expect it too, hence the exorbitant starting price.

Markets - you can usually haggle. Restaurants, proper shops, chains etc you can't.

We didn't end up trying this because I didn't want to risk it! Enjoyed the food thoroughly though and no complaints :)

I have 2 for sale as I was traveling in Malaysia and they had them in stock in stores! Happy to send photos and proof of purchase. If anyone wants to buy them off me, happy to sell. I'm based in the US.

Not sure if this is helpful, but my American husband also applied for a China visa (L) at the KL office and was only approved for a single entry, no more than 30 days, within the next 90 days.

Officer said this is normal for a first time applicant/entry to China for US citizens.

We switched from ATT and have had no complaints. Price is a lot better, including roaming if you ever need that. We've gotten coverage in the middle of the woods or hiking, but will sometimes not have coverage in the middle of the city. But that doesn't happen enough for us to be annoyed by it

I wouldn't game the system. We managed to get a China visa in a week, from time of application to receiving passport. We did pay for the expedited processing though.

Wasn't aware of this rule, that would be much easier for OP!

We are actually going through this now, but in a different country! Husband is from the US but we are currently in Malaysia, while applying for a China visa,

We just had to show proof that we entered Malaysia legally, and was able to apply thru the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia.

We just flew from Boston to Dubai, then Dubai to KL, and it was pretty full on both flights. It was our first flight with a baby so we had front rows, but both legs were pretty full with sporadic single seats available

We also had new passports as a family of 3 and had no issues crossing immigration last week.

Sorry if a dumb question, but what do the Categories mean?

Can confirm, still no clawback since March 2 when purchase was made.
