You know what, I think she might be telling the truth, but only the part of the truth that she knows.
Some POS with DCC functionality can work very strangely, and sometimes in a way that doesn't make sense. We have this 交行 machine in Beijing that don't do DCC on chip cards but do really forced DCC on mag cards (swipe).
I think this hotel's machine's DCC is auto-triggered with a swipe reading of the card number, but maybe someone forgot to include this DCC code in the key-in method()... But I think the whole truth should be that DCC can also be turned off for swipes as well, you think so?
