I don't know if there is a thread or a wiki, but if you have a Schwab debit card, any fees will be refunded to you by Schwab. If you bank with a member of the Global ATM Alliance - Bank of America, Barclays, BNP Paribas, Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, China Construction Bank, Deutsche Bank (except for Spain), Scotiabank, TEB, UkrSibbank and Westpac - usage and access fees for using ATMs belonging to other alliance member banks will be waived. You still have to watch out for DCC offers, though.
