I've tried, I managed to get somewhere once but had some massive form to fill out, so sort of gave up lol I just use my Amex who don't allow DCC. + Some Amex transaction in the US never seem to make there way to my UK account lol I've probably never been charged a couple hundred of dollars over a couple of years.
