Does that seem right?

This addendum only applies to outside of USA/Puerto Rico ATM w/ds as no where has there been an addendum to the no-fee at USA Citibank, 7-11 Money Pass, and other partnered network providers.

I need to qualify the no-fee part though ... the $1.50 charge is only applicable to a certain subset of US States. California Citi accouts charge this whereas MD (which is my home branch) allows for up to 5 no-fee per use ATM w/ds per month.
