DPs from a recent trip to Europe:

Prague:
  • Euronet ATM at airport offered conversion with somewhere in the neighborhood of 8% markup IIRC in addition to 2000 CZK minimum withdrawal (~90 usd including fee)
  • Other bank ATMs offered conversion with smaller 3-4% markup
  • ATM choices to debit in CZK were respected
  • No DCC encountered elsewhere (restaurants, regular retail shops)
Munich: No DCC offered at bank ATMs, regular shops

Switzerland:
  • DCC offered only at railway ticket windows and machines at a 3-4% markup. Choice to debit in CHF respected
  • No bank ATM DCC
  • No DCC encountered otherwise
Got to wonder how many suckers would accept DCC in Switzerland with a USD denominated card, given CHF is essentially pegged to USD.
