They gave me two receipts:

- I have an AA cardstock receipt with the charge in Pesos (no mention of DCC)
- Also have a standard receipt with typical DCC verbaige and the tick box stating "I agree...." along with the exchange rate and statement of 3% markup on the rate

The POS system was through Santander Bank just as FYI to other travelers. I travel to Mexico several times per year to visit family - have never seen this before and I use my cards a lot.
