Guide to No Foreign Transaction Fee Credit Cards for Canadians (Updated)

With the news of the Brim Mastercard devaluation I am slowly getting around to updating features on the Rewards Canada site that are affected by the card changes. The first one to be updated is our Guide to No Foreign Transaction Fee Credit Cards for Canadians. This feature discusses No FX Fees, cards that offer No FX Fees and cards that provide rewards higher than the FX fees they charge.
