Has Barclaycard pulled the no foreign ATM fees deal recently - the webpage today makes no mention of this benefit ?

Maybe new customers only ?

The card is now marketed as "Platinum Cashback" rather than "Platinum Cashback Plus" - I am guessing the "plus" was for the ATM withdrawals.
The summary box also mentions "Non Sterling Transaction Fee: 2.99% of transaction (no minimum)" so looks like there is no more fee-free foreign transactions either.
EDIT:
I have the "plus" version of the card and it clearly states on the statements "no fees on non-sterling purchases and cash withdrawals"0 -
Thanks Gary - that's how I read it.
Hopefully the fee free deal at ATMs abroad still applies to existing card holders.0 -
If you are an existing “plus” card holder then yes - this will apply until August 2023 I believe along with the cashback0

The website states
Foreign Usage
Payment Scheme Exchange Rate: Depending on your card type, rates can be found at either Visa or MasterCard
One or more of the following MAY apply
Non Sterling Transaction Fee: 2.99% of transaction (no minimum)
Perhaps it depends on each individual customer's offer.... as does the APR charged.#2 Saving for Christmas 2024 - £1 a day challenge. £325 of £3660 -
Apparently, the offer for fee free transactions abroad is no longer available for new customers. Barclaycard has reserved the right to withdraw the offer at any time.0

Hmmm, I applied for this card last week. Some of the screens referred to Platinum Cashback Plus, and other just Platinum Cashback. I thought it odd at the time.
I'll have to give them a ring tonight and check which card I've got before I go withdrawing cash on holiday.0 -

Apart from that, they haven't done a good job with the editing;
Even though there is now nothing mentioned about free overseas usage, they still have;Remember to pay or take out cash in the local currency to benefit from the 0% offer and Visa’s competitive exchange rate. Find out more about using your card abroad.0 -
Barclaycard have confirmed that existing cardholders will continue to enjoy the fee free foreign ATM deal etc. until 2023 - and 0.25% cashback.0

Correct.
And I believe new cardholders has 0.5% cashback for the first 3 months as well0
