RMB withdrawn (charged):
US Bank (or CC issuer):
US Dollars deducted (charged):
I posted 3 transactions (all CCB) about a month ago that fulfill your criteria.
But, honestly, like
mnredfox, the rates are really, really close to spot; we're talking about pennies on $300+ withdrawals.
If you're into this sort of research, your efforts would be much more appreciated on the DCC front (I've allowed my guard to drop a bit during recent months, but now that I see others care, I'm energized to get back on that horse).
Given that we're not going to take down Visa any time soon, I think we should focus our efforts on individual establishments we visit the most. Sorry for the tangent.
