So I did some math, this card is absolutely useless in Canada (as far as I am concerned at least, since I have a 2 points on everything with Capital One), so we are looking only at US / international purchase. You have to spend 5500$ in a year outside Canada to offset the AF. While it may be interesting for people who spend a lot outside the country not sure I will take it as a third card in my wallet. Especially when I will use a SPG Amex for everything in Marriott / Starwood hotel (in which case the 2 points per C$ worth it even with forex fees).
