Where are the forced DCC ATMs located?
As an aside, Euronet is actually an American company that operates these ATMs that try to trick tourists.
No idea as I just read about this on sites like TripAdvisor.
Personally I always use ATM of a real bank whether at airport or in town - that is because when there are issues, a bank can help you to resolve such on the spot. I have had ATM ran out of money without warning and no cash spit out, at Seoul airport. The ATM is owned by a Korean bank, next to the bank branch. They eventually sorted the things out but needed me to go down one level to their main office at the airport to get my money.
At Aix-en-Provence, a BNP ATM ate my card. They eventually retrieved the card from one level down the main floor (the ATMs are located at the street level outside the lobby) but obviously my ATM card ended somewhere at a lower level of the building.
Enough of the above to make me always use bank owned ATMs and if possible, always at banking hours.
