M on the bund;
Jade Garden, all branches incl. Paradise Garden;
Crystal Jade in XTD;
Le Royal Meridian hotel;
We ate at Jade Garden (the one near the Jin Jiang hotel) in early January, paid with our credit card and were charged in RMB -- no DCC scam there. We also ate in a variety of high-end restaurants in Shanghai, e.g. Ye Shanghai, as well as high-end restaurants in Guangzhou and Suzhou throughout our nearly one-month stay, and never encountered the DCC scam.
I don't know what we're doing and right and you're doing wrong.
I can only report that we didn't encounter the DCC scam at all.
