Be careful because although it's no FX, it's slightly worse because all foreign currencies other than USD are converted to USD first, THEN to CAD. You take a double hit on the Mastercard spreads, even if they don't put a 2.5% FX commission.

I prefer the Marriott card because it gives 2 points per dollar on many categories, and my redemptions routinely exceed 1cpm.
