Turns out the hubby of the hongkongcard.comer actually agreed to DCC in the Chevignon case.

For the uninitiated it's asking "do 1,109 x (100/103) x (1+your bank foreign currency conversion charge" in your head in 5 seconds.

(Though I don't know what is going through the head of that hubby, for MOP1,109 = HKD1,109.09 (MOP/HKD > 1) is definitely a stinker of a deal.
That's unfortunate. I don't know why people think it's a good deal, especially with a known exchange rate between MOP and HKD.
