Since the Club promos expired last week, I found this post on MMS about asking for the matching first year fee waiver via your existing Chase account secure messaging.

Did what they said and sure enough within about 2 hours I got a reply back saying to apply for the card and I will get a $95 statement credit immediately (via current promo) and when the $395 fee posts, they will issue an additional $300 credit.
Nice...
