The only time it can possibly be the case is for some CCs when prepaid products are purchased direct from the issuers, for example using a Citi card to buy Amex prepaid products direct from Amex.

Given that it's relatively easy to meet the low minimum spends on the cards in Canada, anyways, it's not really important as there's no 10k++ spend to hit in 3 months.

As far as I know, all banks charge an ATM fee for all non members and some bank members have to be on certain plans to have the fees waived. Non bank ATMs charge even more than the banks.
Wouldn't withdrawing from a Petro Canada Visa incur withdrawal fees? I'm guessing CIBC may be the only bank that may waive the fees as they have an affiliation with Petro Canada.
Its not a bad idea. Better than all the other prepaid visa, mc, amex options in Canada for generating some miles. 2miles / $ is ok but not as good as the US deals.

You are incorrect.
That has already been accounted for in the post you quoted above.

Better to leave those people ignorant.
(The only sad thing is that the ignorant are becoming a majority!)

I think there is enough information in this thread for somebody interested in manufacturing "gas" spend for 2%, without too much information to get a newbie without enough tolerance for the game to get burnt.

I bothered to reply to just point out, to you and others reading, that there are ATMs that don't charge "convenience fees". With due respect, I am not a blogger with circles and arrows who is going to spoonfeed you, neither do I want to keep this a secret - I'm providing enough information for those who might not have come across these cards to do their own digging and develop their own strategy.
