I've seen the DCC verbiage before too after
choosing in Taiwan:
The transactions always post correctly in Taiwan Dollars, but one should look out for the following:
- Making the currency selection yourself
- If the receipt is thermal, making sure it's denominated in local currency
- If the receipt is carbon copy with check boxes, asking for courtesy copy/reprint to show currency choice was respected
In the case of most receipts in Taiwan the receipt is thermal and will either say SALE without the DCC verbiage or SALE OPT_O with the DCC verbiage. Both should list the local currency amount. If the receipt only lists your card's currency amount or mentions FX rates, I'd approach the situation cautiously.
