The above is correct. This is how I knew I had been DCC'd. I used the Chase Marriott card before it went 0% FTF and did a historical lookup of the exchange rate for the date of the transaction. I had the poor exchange rate plus the fee at the bottom. In this case I didn't see any exchange rate since the purchase happened in USD, but since it was outside of the US I still got whacked with the 3% FTF. What a rip off!
