However, I speak Polish, no idea how foreigners would be treated.

Nevertheless, in many places you do have control of the terminal and it shows up and you can refuse it easily as well.

It used to be that tapping was a way to avoid it, but no more. I noticed that sometimes tapping only triggers it when it is above 100 PLN which is the authorization trigger - PIN or signature required. Even if you use Google Pay, above 100 PLN it still triggers DCC.

Also, every single ATM has DCC here.
AMEX only way to avoid DCC then? What is AMEX's acceptance rate in Warsaw like?
