I went in July 2010, but I didn't notice any DCC back then. Admittedly, we didn't do too many credit card purchases. In fact, the only card purchases we had were the hotels plus rental car.
I don't remember any ATM fees at the time, and my friend had 50 dinars prior to arrival, which was sufficient at the time for 2 tourist visas.
