为什么用境外信用卡在 12306 买不了票？
Last updated:
⚠️ SYMPTOM
你尝试在 12306.cn 上购买高铁票，结账时境外 Visa/Mastercard 被拒。
🔍 MOST LIKELY CAUSE
12306.cn 只接受 UnionPay 卡、中国境内银行卡以及 Alipay/WeChat Pay。境外 Visa/Mastercard/AmEx 在官网均不被支持。
✓ HOW TO FIX
改用 Trip.com（英文界面、接受所有主要境外卡、24 小时英文客服），价格与 12306 相同，仅收取少量服务费。或者直接前往任意火车站的自助售票机或窗口，凭现金和护照购票。
