The US Airways® Premier World MasterCard® eliminated foreign transaction fees.
That’s interesting to me because the Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® MasterCard® still has a foreign transaction fee of 3%.
The foreign transaction fee on any given card doesn’t matter to me because I just need one card that doesn’t have the fee, and I have several including the Citi ThankYou® Premier Card and Barclaycard Arrival PlusTM World Elite MasterCard®, which are the two cards I carry when I travel.
The main reasons to get the US Airways® Premier World MasterCard® are still the 50,000 mile sign up bonus after first purchase and the fact that the ability to get that bonus will go away in the next few months when the American Airlines/US Airways merger is complete.

Just getting started in the world of points and miles? The Chase Sapphire Preferred is the best card for you to start with.
With a bonus of 60,000 points after $4,000 spend in the first 3 months, 5x points on travel booked through the Chase Travel Portal and 3x points on restaurants, streaming services, and online groceries (excluding Target, Walmart, and wholesale clubs), this card truly cannot be beat for getting started!
