While American Express no-foreign transaction fee credit cards make it cheaper to travel with your Amex card, they’re not accepted everywhere. You should be able to find businesses that accept American Express in places like Canada and Mexico. However, it’ll be harder in smaller countries, especially those that don’t typically do business with the U.S.

Amex EveryDay is catered toward everyday spending rewards as it earns 2 points per $1 spent on travel booked through amextravel.com and at supermarkets (up to $6,000 per year), and 1 point per $1 spent on all other purchases. Plus, it offers an initial bonus of 10,000 points after spending $2,000 in the first 6 months.… read full answer

Alternative Credit Card Option

When shopping online through international merchants or making purchases abroad, you should use a card with no foreign transaction fees. A good example would be the Capital One VentureOne.

The card’s annual fee is $0 and it requires at least good credit for approval.
