A traveler at Mercure Bogota Calle 100 encountered an 8.9% Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) fee on their credit card charge. The hotel staff initially disputed the DCC application before voiding and re-processing the charge in local COP

## Summary

A traveler staying at the Mercure Bogota Calle 100 (formerly Atton) reported a specific instance of Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) being applied to their credit card payment. Upon late arrival, the hotel presented a charge slip in USD. The traveler noted the terminal screen was in Spanish and required selecting a decline button to proceed with the local currency (COP) payment. The slip indicated a conversion fee boosted by 7%, but the actual applied fee was approximately 8.9%. After the traveler pointed out the DCC, the staff voided the USD charge and re-processed it in COP. The article contrasts this with American Express, which does not offer DCC as an option for merchants. This serves as a case study for travelers regarding DCC practices at specific hotel properties
