    Bank of America raises non-customer ATM fees to $3 - Sep. 13, 2007

    I always use my GMAC card to withdraw money at the ATM. GMAC reimburses all non-customer ATM fees up to $6 a month. Since I only withdraw money maybe once every 3 months, it doesn't matter what other banks charge for using their ATM, since I get that fee reimbursed.

      I have excellant credit and HAD a bank of America card for several years. Of Course when I started paying off EVERYTIME they would try to charge me a late payment fee even when I mailed two payments a month! So I finally got soooo p-oed that I canceled the card. I have a new Simmons first card and they so far have treated me fairly. I hate it when you sendf in a payment the day you recieve the bill (SAME) day and they say, they didn't re cieve it. 1st time they waved the late charge second time they didn't and I paid off the whole 76.00 i owed and canceled the card!

        A few banks are now offering to refund any and all ATM fees. I'm currently with a bank that does that and it's great.

        No way I'd ever go to a Bank of America ATM. I don't care who's paying for it, $3 is too much.

        They say the ATM's are expensive but fail to mention how much money they're saving by not paying tellers.

          Puppypal, maybe you have an excellent credit card by Bank of America, but I think the using of credit cards in USA are not good for the clients. According to my best knowledge the using of a credit card has a 5% rate after every buying. So the debit cards are better In my country (Hungary) the using of credit cards is great and absolute FREE. When I use my credit card in my country or anywhere outside of my country I don't pay the 5% rate. I think this chance is in my country because of our unpopular credit card using. I've a special credit card at CitiBank. It's common mark with MALEV (Hungarian Airlines).

          The advantages of my CitiBank - MALEV Credit Card:
          - The buying with this is FREE no transaction FEES, no 5% rate
          - The money spending with this credit card during 51 days FREE
          and I have to pay back only my money spendings WITHOUT ANY INTERESTS!!!
          - After the buying (inside my country) I get points to my MALEV FD card.
          - After the buying (outside of my country) I get triple points to my MALEV FD card.

            I never use an atm. I destroyed the card the bank gave me 10 years ago. Its part of my budget strategy. If I can't get the money out of an ATM, I can't spend it.

              Put an end to the control that banks have especially the Federal Reserve which is a privately owned bank.
