So, I'm still looking for a card that has some type of Mileage/Air Travel, or Rebate rewards... and that won't hit for more than the 1% transaction fee as soon as the issuing Bank gets the chance.
RE:
ANY bank, MBNA or any other, can introduce this fee anytime it may see fit. To me, the grandfathering of Fidelity cards issued before April 30th looks a very good opportunity for anyone who travels outside of the US. But you could always get the Capitalone card.
