Note regarding my previous post above, I requested reinstatement of my account after having second thoughts. Request was granted.

Please post back here with your results. I've tried the "loyal longstanding high spend cardholder route" for a retention bonus and the best they offered was 1000 miles... I didn't even ask for a waiver of the annual fee! Heck, I don't even have the 10k at annual renewal bonus. Original World Elite benefits are hard to give up though.
