It doesn't really stop that. The DCC seems more there to fleece customers, but does UA do DCC on united.com's non-US sites? Or is it just pricing in local currency?

UA fares available to those not living in the US are easily purchased with US credit cards on OTAs in every developed country with UA service and also in many developing countries with UA service too.
