The Nordstrom Visa has no annual fee and a 1% FTF. And you accumulate points toward shopping. ;) Plus, you are not dealing with one of the evil banks. Nordstrom is the bank.
Thanks! My Chase Visa has no Foreign transaction fees, but a large annual fee. It would be nice to have a backup for use on trips. And Nordstrom in where I normally shop anyway---nice local business for us.
Capital One Mastercard. No annual fee. No Foreign Transaction fee. 1% on everything, with 2% on gas and groceries.
And you can have the awards credited to your account any time you wish, and not, have to wait for multiples of $50 to order rebate checks. This is not to be confused with the 50% bonus card they are pushing on ads currently, which is a straight 1.5%, but you only get the extra 1/2% paid out once a year. We use this, I can vouch for all this. And their customer service has been refreshingly good. BTW, they have a Hi-Yield Money Market Account that has no charge at their end for using your ATM card.
