Have to wait another 10 days to receive the monthly statement.
The card issuer is the one impose the fee, so in your case:

CX > Citi

BA > AMEX (If any)

By the way - the card associations which the card is issued under (like Visa, MC, AMEX, etc.) does get some portion of foreign transaction fee you pay to your issuer.
