Park Hyatt Shanghai - Is this for room checkout? My experience at Park Hyatt Shanghai (Morning Tea @ Living Room) was very different.
Is your slip billed under "SHANGHAI HILLS HOTEL"?

1. Park Hyatt at the SWFC: Billed under "SHANGHAI HILLS HOTEL" (dodgy?!) on a Unionpay tricolour carbon slip. No acquirer identified on the slip.
I reversed it and handed over an Amex, the merchant ID's different (1043100xxxxxxxx vs MC merchant 0213236xxxxxxxx) (even tho same "SHANGHAI HILLS HOTEL" merchant name) and the acquirer was identified as 1042900.
On subsequent review of the merchant codes I guess Park Hyatt's merchant bank is BoC. Its MC merchant ID's 0213236xxxxxxx and Amex merchant ID's 1043100xxxxxxxx, Mum's Dongguan golf club BoC MC merchant ID's 0212100xxxxxxxxx and Amex is 1044011xxxxxxxxx - the fourth digit difference might be attributed to being in SH vs being in Dongguan (Guangdong).
I didn't see the terminal.
