Hotels are charging the MEP rate since Friday even for cash payments despite the fact that the directive is only for card payments and the card payments will likely never use the MEP rate because VISA/AMEX/MC will never be obliged to use it.
This means that bookings made weeks ago at the official rate are now being charged at the MEP rate. We just called Booking.com and they said not to pay more than was quoted when booked so we paid by Amex and will file a fraud charge and leave a scathing review of the hotel.
Typical lawlessness and ridiculous behavior. No logic. None.
