Why would you only use it abroad? Depends. If it's the only no foreign transaction fee card you have then maybe. You're basically paying $150 a year for that and Priority Pass. Of course the few other perks that you'd benefit from.

Another question: how does the $300/yr travel reimbursement work? Does it reset every december 31 regardless of when you start the membership?

We don't know how much international travel you do. Problem statement needs more work

Mainly to visit family in my home country and a short vacation trip outside the US

And that is how much time? It's fairly straightforward analysis. Cost of card, value of points, projected spend.
