I put $14,000USD transaction onto that card a few weeks ago, if CAD=USD, that would be a $14350 once it is posted on my credit card due to the 2.5% exchange rate, BUT amazon does not charge this at all, so it came out to $13900 something as the dollar was slightly higher, AND to top it off, got an extra $140 dollars as bill credit (1% cash back)....so a $14000 transaction saved me nearly $500 bucks! Simply can't go wrong with that for a free card. I use it for everything that is sold in USD, and it will be my primary card of use when I travel anywhere.
That's exactly what I'm looking for! Is it the card they advertise at checkout ("Get $15 off your order with the Amazon Visa..."?). Shitty if it is because I just finished my christmas orders yesterday, but still. No translation fees are something I've been looking for.
