Reader Sam points me to the Schwab Bank Visa Card which, according to its FAQ, doesn’t hit you with foreign transaction fees. There are other cards with the same feature, it’s the only redeeming aspect of Capital One for instance, but this card also gives you 2% cash back into a Schwab One brokerage account.

The Charles Schwab Visa Check Card does not charge a foreign transaction fee either and has free cash withdrawal from ATMs. They also seem to give a highly competitive exchange rate in my experience.
The Capital One card gives 1% back.
