Unless it's title is American Express, don't take any chances.
So gpap - you will just have to travel more out of state and make sure you include a week-day non holiday so that you can buy your TC's while away from home.
There's a different webpage where you can search for OTHER places to buy Amex TC's -- such as banks, grocery stores, etc. Obviously, I didn't include THAT link since such places will ALL charge a fee.
As I said, there is just ONE official American Express Travel Office in my town (plus a couple of others in the region); I will be phoning them within a couple of days to confirm whether they offer the fee-free deal.
