In Canada, I think Chase Canada is still the only CC issuer that offer no FX fee and only the following cards from Chase are FX free:
- Amazon VISA
- All Sears M/C
- Marriott VISA
Amazon give you 1% rebate, so if you think you can get 1 cent return $1 spend on Marriott VISA (1/2/5 points per $1, depending what you are buying) then Marriott will be better. Amazon and the Basic Sears M/C do not have Annual Fee, so that might be better if you do not want to deal with Chase Canada approval department after you get the card at first.
You can convert Marriott points to others FFP:
