Hello,
There were a few threads on no FX credit cards, and the Rogers card has always been mentioned as one of the top options. Rogers still charges the 2.5% FX fee, but you get 4% back in rewards, so you end up with a net 1.5% gain on Foreign purchases.
The major complaint was the rewards redemption. You either had to redeem the rewards for Rogers purchases or call for a yearly statement credit/cash back option. I just received an email today that says starting February 2019, you can use your cash back rewards on any purchase. Given the $0 fee, this makes the card a serious contender for the top spot for FX purchases.
Here is a snippet from the email:
