"all Capitol One credit cards have no foreign exchange fees. They even waive the Visa/Mastercard portion of the fee (2% of the usual 3% you get charged); well, waive isn’t the right phrase, they actually eat it. "

That’s what I found as well, about 3 months ago, before we traveled to Sicily. Capital One is the only one I could find that didn’t charge the international transaction fee (sometimes called the conversion fee) AND the bank fee, which generally totals 3% getting tacked on to any international credit card purchase. So we have the Capital One card exclusively for international travel, and we’ve also added our 18 year old daughter as an authorized user on that card. I believe it was all Capital One cards that had this advantage, but check before signing up.
