Reading the wiki it seems that there are ways to dispute it, but what happens if I have no choice? For instance I am at dinner, and want to pay by card? I ask before that they accept Visa. Can I refuse to pay if I give them my USD based card, it auto prices in USD and the receipt said I was given a choice? The wording on it was "I accept that I have been offered a choice of currencies for payment offered by eservice and that this choice is final. I will have no recourse against payment schemes concerning the currency conversion or its disclosure. I accept the conversion and final amount and that the selected transaction currency is USD"
Has anyone filed a dispute with Chase successfully?
Did you discuss it with the waiter? Did you ask to speak to the manager? I know you probably would have gotten the no speak English excuse or we have no control over it. In that case, cross out the statement about you accept the conversion as final and write local currency option not offered. Tell the manager you will be disputing the charge and it will be charged back. And if they still refuse to do the transaction properly, dispute the transaction with your bank either over the phone or by writing and demanding to see the signed signature slip. Hopefully that will do the trick. Chase is aware of the problem and for small amounts, prefers to simply credit the account for the difference and as long as they do that, this cancer will continue to metastasize through the travelling world.
