Thank you. ^ I didn't realize it is available. I suppose I never looked into Travelex as their rates and commissions are universally poor.
You still need to carry a card with local currency to avoid DCC though. If you carry a card with GBP and EUR but charge is in CAD, you are still subject to DCC.
