Can the China Postal Savings Green Card (Savings Card) be used as a credit card to make purchases at stores?
The savings card is the same as a credit card, but it is not a credit card.

The savings card is not a credit card. Bank cards (UnionPay cards) are divided into credit cards and debit cards, and credit cards are divided into credit cards and quasi-credit cards. Debit card is a general savings card, belongs to the current deposit account, can be used for consumption, ATM deposit and withdrawal, etc.; credit card can be used for consumption, ATM deposit and withdrawal, etc., the biggest advantage is that it can be overdrawn (with a certain credit limit). A credit card is a credit card in which the issuing bank grants the cardholder a certain credit limit, within which the cardholder can make purchases first and make repayments later. A quasi-credit card is a credit card in which the cardholder first deposits a certain amount of reserve as required by the bank, and when the reserve is insufficient for payment, the cardholder can overdraw within the credit limit specified by the issuing bank. Debit cards are categorized into transfer cards, special cards and stored value cards according to their functions. Debit cards cannot be overdrawn. Transfer cards have the functions of transferring money, depositing and withdrawing cash and spending money. Specialized cards are debit cards that can be used in specific areas and for specific purposes (other than department stores, restaurants, and the entertainment industry), and have the functions of transferring money and accessing cash. A stored value card is a prepaid wallet-type debit card to which the bank transfers funds to be stored in the card at the request of the cardholder, and from which funds are debited directly at the time of the transaction.
