Comparable replacement cards

Replacement cards come from this site’s card directory, with closed and winding-down products excluded. This card has no other active product in its category, so the list is ordered by how far a mainland China reader can apply.

Replacements are listed in this site’s selection order; this is not a ranking or a recommendation. Each card’s fees, eligibility and rewards follow the official sources on its own profile. Confirm regional eligibility before comparing fees.

This site’s general checklist

The following is not an instruction from the issuer. It is this site’s general advice for any card being retired.

1. Stop topping up the card or its account, so the balance does not sit with a party that has stopped operating.
2. Move the balance back to a wallet or account you control before the service ends; the withdrawal route usually closes before the card itself does.
3. Go through every recurring charge tied to this card, especially AI and streaming subscriptions, and move them to the new card before cancelling the old one.
4. Keep the shutdown notice, withdrawal records and ticket numbers as evidence for any later claim or appeal.
5. Pick a backup card on a different network or from a different issuer, so a single channel failure does not take both down at once.
