Merchants in Denmark are charging surcharges for non-EU/EEA credit cards without clear pre-purchase disclosure, adding 2-4% to transaction totals

## Summary

Merchants in Denmark are applying surcharges for payments made with non-EU/EEA credit cards. While EU/EEA cards are exempt, international cards incur fees (typically 2.7-3.9%). The key issue is lack of transparency: these fees are often not disclosed before the purchase decision is made, appearing only on the final receipt or terminal display. This impacts frequent fliers using US-issued cards traveling in Europe
