They were like, sure, based on your spend, how about 3k points. Knowing that was worth about 60 bucks, I was cool with it.
Did the same thing again recently. Called once, got someone who would not do anything about the annual fee. Called again the next morning, and got a friendly CSR who, after a bit of conversation, offered 2k points. I said, how about 3k points. Sure.

Got another 3k points again. Good stuff.
