Nope. Don't work there. Just happen to fly them a lot and got burned by this once before.
I am 100% in agreement that their Dynamic Currency Conversion is a rip off (just as it is when hotels present the option or restaurants or gift shops or museums). All I'm saying is that they disclose the rate they are going to use, display the fare in both EUR and USD, and give you the option not to pay in USD.
Right now I'm looking at their site and they are using an exchange rate of 1.2402969 when the mid-market rate is 1.16417, which is a 6.53% premium. Definitely a crappy deal and feels scammy, but totally out in the open and you can opt-out.
