The USAA T&C, as of 1/2/2010 says:

1 USAA does not charge a fee for the first 10 ATM withdrawals and refunds up to $15 in other banks' ATM usage fees each month. A 1% foreign transaction fee applies to withdrawals outside the United States.

So, the way I read it is:

- Domestic - ATM fee refunded up to $15/month
- International - ATM fee refunded up to $15/month but 1% fee is added
