I understand re the cc fees in Australia. At least those are shown in advance.
But this DCC practice really upsets me. There is absolutely NO benefit to the customer at all. None. Just an attempt to up-charge you 4.5% so they make more profit. It should be abolished and everyone who writes a hotel review on TA or here or Yelp or wherever should complain about it until it goes away.
