Just when I have given up hopes of getting a Hong Kong Airport Frequent Visitor (HKAFV) card. It allows me NOT to wait in line for over 45 minutes through immigration. Two nights ago, I got an email informing me that since I am an approved HKAFV card holder, I am now qualify to use the e-Channel. Wow, how did I get qualified when I don't even have the card. After several emails, I finally got to the bottom of things. The mailing address they put on the envelope was wrong! Wrote down Suite 128. My suite number was 129. Being Chinese neighbour, they didn't give a flying f*^(*&K. Just toss. The card was mailed back in January!!!! At least now I know my card number and a replacement card is being sent out in the next 4 weeks. That's good. I am going to apply for the e-Channel; what it does is put a bar code sticker to the back of my passport. I use the automatic scanning booth just like Hong Kong ID cardholders. Have my thumb print scanned and stored. I just walk in and out in less than 10 seconds. This registration is good for entering into Hong Kong at any Chinese border crossing including the Macau Ferry Terminal in Hong Kong. Cool!
In order to keep my frequent visitor status, I only need to be in and out of Hong Kong 8 times within 2 years time frame from the day of issue of the card.
