It makes me think of AMEX which doesn't allow DCCs.

I might be a good thing for Americans. However, I'm in Canada. And when I used my AMEX on Hotwire through Paypal, Hotwire said they could not charge me in CAD. So they converted the amount in USD (and took a 3% cut). Then on my bill AMEX took another 2.5% cut to convert the amount back in CAD.
