Rare Ombud Posted June 22, 2023 #26 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Well my cruises for the balance through 2023-2024 is just Europe, UK, then Australia to Japan so I won't run into DCC until 2025. And yeah, charging someone an extra 10% to use an ATM isn't fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted June 22, 2023 #27 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Remember to not use your credit card at the ATM to get cash. Cash withdrawals using a credit card are considered a cash advance which will incur fees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an American living in Australia with a U.S. ATM card and credit cards. I have never heard the term DCC before, but I can tell you that I am presented with a conversion rate that I can accept or decline every time I use them. That sounds like DCC as Hlitner described it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a twenty quid in my sock drawer the other day, which I'll be taking to England next month. Amazing what we find in coat pockets and sock drawers!! I'm going to go check mine now!!

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted May 3 #30 Share Posted May 3 Wouldn't it be great if we (members) could set up an exchange swap for all those "extra"/left over currencies that we pick up for our cruises. I guess that would be considered mail fraud or money laundering. aka Sheldon Cooper. My daughter hit many, many, countries during her 30 day back packing trip through Europe. She used her left over currency to pay down her hostel rates (then, I guess charged the rest?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
