Best credit card to use at AliExpress.

Online Shopping

AliExpress is Alibaba's consumer-facing global marketplace, connecting Chinese manufacturers and merchants with international buyers. The platform sells everything from electronics and apparel to home goods at low price points, with shipping times that vary widely by item. Purchases code as online shopping for credit card networks, so an online-shopping category bonus card earns its multiplier. Some AliExpress sellers invoice through international processors, so foreign transaction fees can apply on cards without an FTF waiver, which is worth checking before a large order.

Picks without a tag earn at AliExpress both in-store and online. Watch for theOnline onlytag — those bonuses only apply on aliexpress.com.
