I think Avis knows about this too. Here’s how they force DCC on you as a Preferred:

1. You signed up Preferred in your country of residence;
2. You attached your cc with your Preferred profile;
3. When you rent a car, Avis makes sure that the Avis in where you live send you a bill. Since in your case is Avis US and my case Avis Sweden, they will bill you in our home currency.

Basically you either don’t rent from them or accept that they will DCC you.
