...still looking for a good replacement for my Sapphire Reserve with no Annual Fee, no Foreign Fees, and a useful signup bonus before January 2018.
Applied for and received new Amex HHonors card with no Annual Fee. Welcome package includes an addendum that states that as of January 18 there will be no Foreign Exchange Fees on purchases.
....Works for my needs.
