There were four £ transactions over a 3 week period. I took each one and looked up the XE.com rate on the day and what this should have equated to in $.
I then looked at the $ amount that the merchant had used and using the XE.com rate of that day calculated the overcharge in £ that the merchant had added with dcc.
I kept a running total of this £ overcharge and this total is the credit I received.
I used an average calculation of rates for the purposes of my summary post but for the real calculations I worked it out based on the rate on the date in question.
Does that answer you question?
