I have three major cards: One in Canadian dollars, One in US dollars and a HSBC Premium in HK dollars with my HK HSBC account for Asia and EU spendings.
The catch is that each card needs to be paid in their currency so it might not be workable solution for everyone.

Maybe I don't know the customs there, but can't you just request to pay in the local currency? If I ever get charged DCC I request they run it back in the local currency, and if I'm at a place I know or believe will run DCC I tell them to run it in the local currency before hand.
