I'm confused. Are you using a US based credit card? Why wouldn't your charges post to your credit card account in USD since that's what VISA/MC/AMEX are going to convert the foreign currency to for purposes of billing you?

I use various Chase cards with Uber overseas and the final charge always posts to the credit card account in dollars - as I would expect it to. That's not DCC.
