It would be DCC if they charge you in your native currency, CDN, not their local currency!
They did charge me in CDN! My receipt says an extra 5.375% was charged!!

At this point it is just the pre-auth, so I should be ok, right? I'm going to ask them to reverse the pre-auth and do it again in USD, but will I get dinged with anything for the reversal? I assume not, but since this whole practice is quite deceptive, I figure I should ask!

Thanks!
