Yesterday I had a China billing address and JPY fares. Fares went down about 30% once I moved back to the good old USA.

Update - Issue Likely Resolved

Hi everyone,

Thanks for continuing to flag this issue and providing examples. I wanted to let you know that as of late Friday afternoon, we believe that the issue of different currencies (relative to the customer’s point-of-sale) displaying in the booking path has been resolved. We’ll continue to monitor over the next few days, but if you continue to see it, please PM me and I’ll forward to our web team.

Bolding mine: So "we believe that the issue has been resolved" tells me that it's not fixed and afaic, "thanks for continuing to flag this issue* just gives more credence to my signature

*e pluribus unum afaic

I find it more like the supermarket price scanners - we think we're right, but thousands of users can give us feedback versus ten or so beta IT guys.
