We are fortunate that we don't have the pressure like he does, but we can use this argument to our advantage in the fight against DCC. Including language that says, "Depending on the rewards structure of your credit card, sometimes you won't get any miles or points for the transaction if you accept DCC." This way it's more substantive than arguing over a couple of cents.

Our case isn't quite as severe. The only loss is the markup on the DCC with a 0% FTF card and credit of the miles and points anyway. The only loss with the chargeback would be losing whatever additional miles or points the DCC markup generated.
