Is there any way to use the amex prepaid at an ATM with no fees at all (including bank fees)?

Yes.  First you need to find a surcharge free ATM.  And then only do 1 ATM withdrawal per month to avoid the fee from AMEX.

Yup, but luckily I have a fee-free ATM 5 minutes from me.

Amex told there was no such thing.  Is there one in midtown Manhattan or in Brooklyn?

Coming soon? This looks like it might deserve a thread of its own, interesting concept:

This is FreeATM’s second location to host its machines after introducing its prototype in a music venue and bar called the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn on Nov. 4, 2011.

Yup, that article came up in my original Google search, and I found the FB page I linked to. GIMF ;)

If they already launched at Barclay's I'd prefer to go there.

So cool!  Pretty good location to start off as well, very central, right across Atlantic Terminal/mall.

The Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets and oft-used concert venue, will have seven ATMs on Sept. 28, including one which provides access to the public who are not attending an event.
But why only one for the rest of us? ???

As for this "Knitting Factory", never heard of that place.

Nightclubs are a popular ATM location, albeit unknown to good Jewish boys :P

I don't have facebook (and plan to keep it that way).  Does anyone have the list on a different website or can send it to me?

Have you managed to find the free ATM at the Barclays Center? I went looking there today to cash out some MVD's and couldn't find the free one. According to their website, there is an ATM there available to the general public as well as a few more inside the Barclays Center which are only available while the venue is open.
