"A side-example is this: Currently, if you go get cash back at the grocery store, you do not have to pay fees that you might have to pay at a foreign bank's ATM. Everybody knows this, but in a way you have found another legal way to 'beat the system.' And who here wants to blow THAT whistle!?!?!?"

I think you can do the same at any post office as they are atm transaction free. Thats nice when you're far from home and need some cash w/no fees. Would buying money orders w/ccards then rtrng m/o for $ work? PSS..ORD and SLC ahve 24-7 poffices on airport grounds; would imagine most airports have them.

Postal money orders can only be bought with debit cards and PIN and do not earn FF miles. While I teach ethics at two community colleges in the Los Angeles area, I refrain from giving ethical advice.
