I have edited the Wiki to reflect this pending change. I have also noted that you can withdraw cash for free with a Citi ATM card at 5000+ 7-11 stores in the U.S. ^

Looks like I will be getting a paypal debit card as hell will freeze over before I'll pay a 3% ATM fee to Citi or any other bank. The pre-trip money transfer to paypal will be a minor hassle, but nicely offset by the interest paid on my balance.
