So this thread is rather misleading , implying that this practice of DCC is only in China. The moderator ought to look into this .
When did we mention interest rate? Suppose you mean exchange rate.
I'm glad you have some compliant transactions. I and some others here have not been so lucky.
Why should the title be changed? The title is suitable for a thread talking about DCC in China as a scam.
I think it's fair to cover Greater China, since we get the same banks and non-compliant firmware (e.g. BoC) in HK and Macau and (e.g. HSBC/Global Payments) in Taiwan.
If we brought in DCC in other countries then it is merely to compare DCC experiences in other jurisdictions. I didn't include my full Harrods story here, I posted it over in the UK forum then included a link to it here.
