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.
I would wait for confirmation till you modify the wiki.

As of 10/09, no change yet. Used a non-Citi ATM (Banco de Chile) which hasn't seemed to matter as even Chilean Citi ATMs show up as non-Citi ATMs on my statement. Got better than 1% from the historical xe.com mid-market rate for that day and the fee still gets seperated a day or so later after immediately showing up real time on my online statement.

Citi reps have given out erroneous info the past so I would wait for further REAL WORLD confirmation.
