There was a 2.7% forex fee prior to March 2011. Is there a print date on the collateral that came with the PIN that's prior to 3/11? Also, what I stated about the 1% Express Cash fee is what it is for Centurion - Platinum may be different and you should verify this before using it. Even at 3% with a $5 max, it can be a good deal if you make large withdrawal: US$1000 equivalent would be a 0.5% fee, assuming you can find a machine that will dispense that much in a single transaction. That's another side benefit of Express Cash: its withdrawal limit is set by Amex, not your bank, and is in addition to whatever your bank gives you on your regular ATM card.
