Alright, I think I successfully dodged DCC in HK with an honorable mention to percysmith to assisting me at Greyhound Cafe. While we weren't able to get out of DCC there, he helped me void the sale, which in turn avoided DCC.

I still have two pending transactions, the one from Disneyland and a second transaction from today at Franc Franc. Fortunately, I know how the Franc Franc transaction will play out based on experience. I'm hopeful that Disneyland will be without DCC too.

I had an interesting experience upon checkout at the Courtyard on Hong Kong Island. The BoC terminal that they use will not print the DCC verbiage nor hold the DCC amount for a PREAUTH. The carbon copy receipt I signed was denominated in HKD, but I was so fixated on looking for the DCC verbiage and the transaction amount that I failed to notice that the transaction was HK$9298 whereas my bill was HK$9295. Not wanting a back office reconciliation that resulted in DCC, I returned to the front desk and got them to void the first sale. I had them rerun the transaction (again in HKD) for the correct amount of HK$9295. I will post receipts when I get home and have access to my scanner. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying my last 30 mintues at the Wing CX lounge at HKG.

With the help of percysmith, moondog, cxua, and I will be following up with the non-compliant Global Payments terminal to see if we can't get the situation rectified.

Thanks again to percysmith for your help at Greyhound Cafe. ^

Also, the Disneyland Maxim Palace receipt posted. They used a rate of 0.128907 for 10/13. Visa's HKD:USD rate for 10/13 was 0.128948. AmEx's rate is 0.032% lower than Visa's for this transaction, but I would consider them to be practically the same. However, I recognize that this is a) only one data point and b) for a currency fixed to the USD within a narrow exchange rate.
