I don't know about Chase, but Amazon Visa does not use the current trading rate. They use the exchange rate(no fee) set by Visa International, which is still higher than Amex. Rogers Plat MC also uses MC International exchange rate, which is higher than Amex.
Addition - Since I didn't know about Chase Marriott Visa, I phoned them for more info because this could be a great card for me. After talking to them, their exchange rate is still higher than Amex. It sounds like their "NO Fee" is just a marketing term.
