Current cards:
Fidelity Amex, Chase Ink, Marriott Premier, Amex Blue, Costco Amex, BR and Macy's.

AOR Plan:
US Bank Club Carlson
Barclay Arrival Plus
Chase Freedom
AA Amex Executive
Bank of America CB Rewards
IHG

I have a single question that is a total noob question but I haven't found the answer to it. How are you guys dealing with AFs that have first year waived? Do you cancel before the end of the first year and take the credit hit, or keep paying AFs?
It varies. Some cancel, some pay it, some try to downgrade the card to a no fee version, and pretty much everyone will call after it posts and ask for a waiver or credit.
