LH F is definitely worth the 2% forex fee from AMEX. It's actually very similar to most credit cards in Sweden (I have seen 2% or 1,75%) - the only no fee card is PFC and I used it in Germany instead of wiring $ to my DKB account (it's cheaper to use the card which is crazy). I actually went to draw cash (max 3000 SEK a month free) from a Haspa ATM and it's still cheaper than wiring $ using Transferwise - to pay partly for my 2000 EUR workshop bill (they only take EC or cash).
