How to pay?

Thank you for choosing ATT as your tour operator. For our clients' convenience, we provide various payment ways as below:

1. Pay by PayPal - the safest way to pay online

We choose the state-of-art secure payment solution of Paypal as main payment way for our online customers. Whatever you have or have not a Paypal account, you can pay us with Paypal, which is now used by over 100 millions people over the world.

After you confirm to take a Tibet tour (and its price) provided by one of our travel advisors, you will receive a Paypal payment link in an Email message. By following the payment link you will be led to Paypal's secure payment website.

If you have a Paypal account, you just need to login to your account and send the money to us by a few clicks. You even don't need to send us any information of your credit card.

If you do not have a Paypal account, you just need to provide Paypal with your credit card information, and Paypal will charge the money from your credit card and transfer it to our account. In this way you also do not need to send us your credit card information. Of course you may also sign up a new Paypal account very easily, and then pay us through your Paypal account.

Please note that our only Paypal account is paypal(at)accesstibettour.net - never pay Access Tibet Tour with any other Paypal account.

2.Pay by Credit Card Authorization

Access Tibet Tour accepts credit card payment with authorization letter by fax. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express Card, Diners.

Right now we do not provide online credit card payment because Tibet's e-commerce infrastructure is not so safe and stable as that in western countries. But with authorization fax, it is very safe and easy:

1) Please find the credit card payment authorization form at the end of this document or download it at:
http://www.tibettravelplanner.com/download/aat_ccp1.doc (Microsoft Word format)

2) Fill your VALID credit card information (card type, number, card holder’s name, billing address and card holder’s signature, etc.) in the credit card authorization form.

3) Fax the authorization letter and a copy of your passport to us at: +86-28-87562424

4) After we receive your fax, we will acknowledge the receipt by sending you an email, and then we will send it to Bank of China which will help us get your payment from your credit card issuing bank.

Important Notes:
The rules of Tibet (China) Government do not allow us to charge in foreign currencies. Credit card payments charged in CNY are based upon the prevailing rates in China. Your card issuing bank will debit you in local currency and Access Tibet Tour will have no control on the rate of conversion used by your card company. The result is that the amount charged from your credit card might be slightly different from the amount on the credit card authorization form.

FAQ: Can I use credit card in Lhasa?

It is not so easy to use credit card in Lhasa as in other big cities in China. You can only use credit card in a few top class hotels like Lhasa Hotel and Tibet Hotel; and in a few tourist shops. You can not withdraw cash from any bank in Lhasa, but you can withdraw cash in RMB from a few ATM machines - but please remember, you can only withdraw not more than RMB5000, and you can only do it once in a week!
