I disputed it with Chase, Chase said "it seems like your card is charged by a US merchant, so even if the stay is abroad, DCC rules don't apply to them". Any thoughts here?
Chase is correct. It's allowed. Ridiculous but allowed... Remember they're Irish, and Ireland is probably the worst place in the world for DCC. What you can do about it is avoid AirBnB. I avoid them but I have other reasons as well. The whole business is sketchy.
