read, for example, posts in this thread starting at around #320.

I am fairly certain that Amex used to not support DCC, and it was cited by many as a solution to avoid accidentally getting hit with this scam. Not 100% sure if that is still the case, and I don’t have time right now to read this thread backwards to see if there was definitely a change.

If true, how would AmEx implement that -- reject charges in the card's own home currency?
I don’t know, but since they own the network and the cards, perhaps their network simply doesn’t or didn’t allow transactions in any currency other than the currency of the merchant.
