Conclusion

I do have a China UnionPay card issued in Hong Kong and it comes handy especially when withdrawing cash from foreign ATM’s (often no fees).

Hotels often have promotions associated with Visa, MasterCard or Amex and I have never been asked to pay using the card that is associated with the rate. That doesn’t mean that it could never happen.
