I find this 3P 'fee rebate' thing on ATM withdrawals is something a few U.S. banks would offer. I know for sure most banks in Canada & the UK would not offer that. They may offer to rebate fees on their end, but definitely not fees imposed by the Thai ATMs.
Agree, the 225 baht surcharge is imposed by the local bank in addition to whatever the card provider charges. So I also would think that this is not covered by anyone but the cardholder themselves.
