I will say that going through this process was not a cake walk, as Chase doesn't really want to deal with a charge back, and the reps do not really understand the principle behind it. I was lucky to have one that completely sided with the average customer.
I would say that's a satisfactory resolution. I know you weren't trying to get a free meal out of the situation, and I wonder what happened on the backend. Usually with a reason code 76 chargeback it wouldn't reverse the charge completely but rather rerun the transaction in the local currency.

It is frustrating with Chase that most of the reps don't know about DCC nor do they care. Thanks again for jumping through the hoops to fight this transaction.
