Are Baskin-Robbins terminals all identical? I thought there was wide variance among locations. If they're identical, we could use Mrs. Majuki's one non-USD Visa if it still works (and probably get a call from the bank and in-laws in the process).
From what I remember the currency on Revolut's chip is GBP so it
should trigger DCC prompting even if in a country that uses one of the card's supported currencies. I was never able to trigger the prompt, however, but I didn't really test it anywhere other than a Travelex ATM (which I thought were all DCC capable, but maybe not in the US).
As for Baskin-Robbins, they seem to mostly use the same MX915s that Dunkin Donuts use. The combination BR/DD stores may be an exception, however. EMV needs to be enabled on the terminal too in order for DCC to be a possibility; there are some here that are but I don't know about elsewhere.
