What is “massively overcharged”? Is it even credible as a meal charge? Could it be a currency issue (bill was in pounds, etc).

The bill that was given to me was for about 150 Jordanian Dinars. My credit card statement it showed up about 390 USD. I gave them a cash tip, I normally cross out the tip section when I tip cash. Chase will not let me dispute it without a copy of the receipt which is strange because I have been able to dispute things in the past without a receipt.

150 Dinars is $212 USD at today’s rates.

Possible the rate was a little worse then, throw in a crappy exchange rate with a credit card, maybe some foreign transaction fees, maybe a 10% service charge, something close to $300 USD is plausible. But yeah, even those things wouldn’t account for $390.

Jordanian Dinars are directly tied to the US dollar, it's a fixed exchange rate has always been about 1.4 dollars per dinar.
