If I don't trust the hotel to dcc, I'll just use the Amex and not a giftcard at all
I can confirm that the Marriott SkyCity is now using the correct Givex rate which is very close to the rate I'm getting on my XE app. It was a difference of 0.2% in hotel's favor which is quite acceptable. I asked for the conversion rate before authorizing processing the gift card, and the FD agent gave me a printout of what was on my card.
