I don’t know how many consecutive times I will need to repeat this to you, but for the sake of others not being misinformed:
There is no 5% markup when charging your foreign credit card at lawsons via AliPay tourist pass.
My last purchase at Lawsons was Saturday for 11RMB. My chase sapphire reserve has a charge for $1.73 corresponding to this purchase. $1.73 equals 11RMB times the exchange rate of that day.
