Hello,
milksteak. Welcome to FlyerTalk, and thank you for sharing your DCC experiences! As you've discovered, the pending amount depends on the POS system. Usually, it's been my experience that the DCC amount shows in the pending activity. As long as the final receipt/courtesy shows an indication of local currency, you're usually good. Be cautious when there are check boxes to ensure that your choice was actually respected. You can see an example at Disneyland HK
here. Some places, notably China and India, have a terrible record when it comes to DCC. By the time you've seen the verbiage it's too late.
