Austria: Renaissance Vienna
Slovakia: No data points
Czech Republic: Shell Kalna and two local restaurants in Prague

The only place that hit me was the Frankfurt Marriott. I used AmEx at the Frankfurt Airport Sheraton, so I don't know what the policy is there.
Germany was rare for me too, Finland, Estonia, Northern Italy, the Balkans, Greece, and Turkey as well.

Although some of those places are mostly cash based to begin with and therefore I don't have many datapoints. My worst DCC offender was in Berlin though.
