I called about my US Air card which has the annual fee hitting in 4 days with the full intention of outright canceling. Mentioned the merger and redundancy with my Citi card and they offered to waive the fee and give 10k points for spending 3k in 3 months. I gladly accepted. I had spent a total of about $15 in the previous year on the card. I'll be spending at least 3k on it now.
Called back about Arrival with AF due in 4 days. Lady was nice but said there was nothing she could do and that she's NEVER seen the AF waived on that card. She offered to downgrade which I dont want because I'd rather use my Sapphire preferred if I'm only getting 2x on travel and dining. This is a main card and I spend 3k/month with no MS. I'll wait until the AF posts and call back. If I get nothing I'll be canceling outright.
