Currency conversion changes shouldn't come into play on US purchased fares as I believe all DR taxes and fees are charged in US dollars.
This is what is happening. To get a refund, the OP must file with the DR government. I am not clear if that's still an available option for everyone or only limited to residents/citizens; the rules have changed several times in the last few years.
