But.. now I realised I better should let them have DCC me!

Bill was 825 RMB, on the DCC bill they printed 114.25 CHF - now that I got the CC statement, it was 115.55 CHF on it. Exchange rate was fine, and I'm having a credit card which usually has very good exchange rates (Cornerbank M&M, only adding 0.9% to bank exchange rates)

Anyway.. apparently by NOT DCC'ing, I spent 1% more, than had I allowed DCC.. I know that usually DCC is always putting you at a disadvantage, so I'm very much surprised why/who I wasn't here.. if DCC would indeed NOT mean a massive surcharge but +/- the same, but directly on my own currency (I guess I would accept a 0.1% surcharge in average - but of course not what it used to be with 3-5%) then I would be more than happy.

Anyone else made the same spottings? Or is that maybe just because the currencies went wild in the last few months? After all, shouldn't DCC mean they're taking that days exchange rate, just as my CC company will as well?
