This article is not accurate. You do pay ATM fees on in-network machines, the fees are just slightly less. I know because I not only work in finance, but write for About.com on the similar banking issues and see this stuff on a daily basis. Avoid banks that reimburse ATM fees? Better some reimbursement than none.
Fee schedules for banks are easily available on their websites. With a little effort, in about 10 minutes the facts in this article could have been accurate.

This post is filled with BAD ADVICE! Opening an account with Bank of America to avoid ATM fees? Offering to pay for friends' dinner with your credit card and pocketing the cash - knowing that you'll spend the cash instead of applying it to the credit card bill? Avoiding banks that reimburse for out-of-network ATMs?
If this writer believes his advice he should stay on vacation!
