I was about to complain about Adobe charging Canadians in USD (thus resulting in a different bill each month) but it seems they now list prices in CAD. The practice was still going in 2020. I wonder if there was a legal impetus for the change.


Yeah, this happened to us in Canada. Booked a place (in Canada z with a Canadian billing address), then had to cancel, and realized too late that we had been charged in USD for the initial booking, so ended up losing a few hundred on the fx delta and fees by the time the refund came through.
