For what it's worth, HSBC (as Premier) has covering other banks' ATM fees for me as well, although in Argentina I was never sure if that was part of the deal (but they did it). In the US, for example, I think they expressly cover other banks' fees, and indeed they're credited automatically on each statement cycle.

The latest they told me is this: "The following countries do not reverse the ATM fee, Argentina, Bermuda, France, Greece, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Panama and Turkey. We have done it as a courtesy this time but can no longer going forward."

For now it seems I should try to get an account going with Schwab ASAP. And in the meantime, if I have a chance to pop over to Uruguay, I'll get as many dollars as I can like I did back in the Blue days (there's a fee even at HSBC machines there as well, but it's proportionally less, and according to the message quoted above, should still be refundable).
