Annual Fee Posted Yesterday

I actually had no intention of cancelling this card as I want the 10k bonus miles and am willing to spend $89 to get them. However I decided to call anyway just to see if they would waive the fee (I did not threaten to cancel). The CSR transferred me to a specialist who answered in seconds (Calling on a Saturday is a good thing) and I was told they could not waive the annual fee because it had already posted. She did offer me 2,000 bonus miles for a single purchase within 90 days. I accepted. Next year (if the card is still around) I will be calling before the annual fee posts. Spend in 2012 was about $3750 ($1250/month/3 months for 15k) and I also used it for a 0% balance transfer offer.
