Yes, Schwab has been refunding these fees with no limits per month. You can use your ATM card at any machine too.

My experience is that Schwab has been refunding these new fees as well. As for where it can be used, it appears that it can be used at any ATM.

I've noticed that a few months ago, LINK ATMs locally started charging a withdrawal fee of almost 12 pesos per up to $1000, which are deducted directly from your account. I have a savings account with State Farm Bank that also refunds ATM fees up to 10 dollars a month, but I was just wondering if the Schwab option refunds these new fees as well. Also, where does Schwab allow you to use the ATM card? Does it have to be a LINK ATM or any ATM?
Thanks for a great post with lots of useful info.
I will look into the Earth Class Mail as well.
Thanks.

uh.. Argentina doesn´t charge europeans and they are the main tourists, it´s an extra income, which is not bad considering Argentina charges visa to the countries that ask for a visa to its citizens, i´m an italoargentine, hence i wouldnt need a visa to visit the US so i can be sort of neutral here, i find this a good thing if the money is used in the right way, a 100 dollars fee is not much for an american citizen, but an argentinian having to pay a 100 dollars to go to the states, IS too much, imagine traveling with his whole family.
