Thanks. I also came across Home Capital visa that shows no fee for foreign transactions on the info page - even though it isn't advertising it as a feature

The problem with the Rogers card is that it does charge 2.5%and the cash back is just credit for Rogers products so if you don't use Rogers it doesn't work

IIRC it can also be redeemed as a statement credit

I have a good credit score in the US and I'm thinking of applying for US cards with good bonuses that have a zero foreign transaction fee and I will use the card here in Canada. Anyone thought of this? or is doing this? If yes, did you run into any trouble?

[yosef789]

What kind of trouble?

Credit card company close account or take away the points

I wouldn't be too sure. Credit card companies do not like to be messed around with.

[mordechain]
