Last time I tried to use my Citibank ATM card in a US airport I think it was DFW and I recall that there was only one bank that had ATMs there (Bank of America) and for some reason my ATM card didn't work with them. Or maybe there was a high fee so I didn't use it.

I'll be landing at MIA and would be looking to get some cash and it appears that its only BoA also (but that's not certain). Can anyone comment?

I will be taking some with me but will need to stock up a few $'00 when I get there. I will have WISE and NAB debit (formerly Citi).
 
I reckon every US airport has BoA ATMs throughout (rarely others!) and yes, they’ll charge a huge fee on most if not all Oz cards.

Alas, there is more rocking horse poop in the US than fee free ATMs these days. Whilst you can kind of get by in post COVID US using card in most places, cash and cash tipping is still wide spread...

I was going to say the exact opposite! Have just come back from a couple of trips to California, including LA, San Fran, Las Vegas and some trips to the country side… i don’t think we used cash at all! Even for tiny purchases of a dollar or two we carded it.

Yes, tipping is everywhere…including takeaway now :( but you can select ‘0’ tip - which we did for takeaway places.
 
Travel each year for a few months to the US. Credit card widely accepted. Carry small cash denominations for tipping obtained before leaving Australia as ATM's do not issue $1 notes. Visited a pumpkin farm before halloween which only took cash so there is the odd exception.
