Chase retention bonus or fee waiver reports [Archive]

I understand that some card members have had luck threatening to cancel their credit cards with BA Chase and getting up to 10,000 miles. I gave it a try this evening and spoke with a retention specialist.

I said "I am thinking about closing my credit card with BA Chase Visa and getting a Delta Amex card. Do you offer any incentives for me to stay with this credit card." Specialist: "What type of bonus are you looking for?" Me: "I understand you may offer a lower interest rate, waive on the annual fee or additional frequent flyer miles." Specialist "I am sorry sir but we have no such offers." I say "In that case you could please tell me the steps I need to take to cancel my credit card." He says "I can do that for you right now over the phone, would you like me to proceed?" Me, "No thanks."

I think they are on to it but I will give it another try tomorrow evening. Anyone have better luck or a better way of going about it?
