Best credit card to use at DHgate.
DHgate is a Chinese business-to-business and business-to-consumer marketplace that connects U.S. shoppers directly with manufacturers and wholesalers across categories like electronics, apparel, home goods, and gadgets, similar in spirit to AliExpress or Alibaba's consumer arm. Prices tend to be low and shipping times longer since most goods ship from overseas sellers. There's no DHgate co-brand credit card, so the best approach is a card that earns a solid flat rate or bonus category on general online shopping, since purchases typically code as a marketplace or general merchandise transaction rather than a specific retail category.
Picks without a tag earn at DHgate both in-store and online. Watch for theOnline onlytag — those bonuses only apply on dhgate.com.
