The 1% applies only to cross-border spending

The International Service Assessment is charged on cross-border transactions and does not apply to domestic spending. Estimating cost as "1% more on everything" overstates it. [1]

A beta product's terms will change

Both the fees and the regional list can change during beta, so re-check the official help page's current terms before using the card. [1]
