We spent 10 days in Southern Italy Puglia region (the heel of the Italian boot) as well as days in Venice before and after the Puglia portion. Not a single DCC attempt.

Then we went to Perth Australia. Neither ATM nor POS had any DCC attempt.

After that we went to Hong Kong. Not a single restaurant showed DCC attempt. Had paid stays at Sheraton Macao and Marriott SkyCity - both were billed in local currency.

Thanks for the report. I haven't seen DCC in Italy, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The Marriott SkyCity definitely has it, but I've never had a problem opting out. DCC is present in Australia but uncommon compared to other places.
