Spent 3 years paying $15 in ATM fees every week before I realized my bank had free withdrawals at 7-Eleven

I was just walking past a 7-Eleven last Tuesday and saw a sign on the ATM saying 'no fee for [bank name] customers' and it finally clicked. Has anyone else missed something that obvious buried in their bank's fine print?

Good thing you didn't buy a lottery ticket every week too.

Oh wow, that is rough. But I gotta say, I think you might have your math a little off there. If you were paying $15 a week, that's not standard ATM fees, that's basically robbery. Most ATMs charge like $3 to $5 max, plus whatever your own bank hits you with. So either you were using some really fancy ATM or you meant $15 a month maybe? Anyway, it's good you finally caught on because those little fees add up fast. My bank does the same thing with CVS ATMs and it took me forever to notice too.

Yo @cora_scott77 i feel you on the CVS thing but were you hitting a strip club ATM or something? Thats the only place ive seen fees that high. Anyway good on you for catching it, those little charges add up way too fast.
