Probably it was all made up by the DCC creaters

No, seriously, I guess you've read some of my contributions to this thread, and found myself to be strongly Anti-DCC. My posting was more meant humours, exactly in the way you're posting (this is the once-in-a-lifetime experience where DCC pays off for the customer)

Unless the whole world economy goes crazy, or you're in a country having ....-crazy inflation (where DCC - I'm sure of that - wouldn't be offered ) - DCC is obviously always a scam. This event today was so rare that it will only be happening once every few years for a single currency - so the chance of you hitting it is probably less than the Saudis allowing a all-you-can-drink beer festival )
