I was just contemplating calling to see if I could get the annual fee waived. Any ideas what getting a waiver of the annual fee will do to this bonus?

I never used my last companion certificate, and i'm somewhat doubtful I'd use the new one. If I can't waive my annual fee that makes this roughly a purchase of miles for .74 cents (cost $89 annual fee, plus 1500 of spend not on my arrival=$122, benefit 16500 miles = .74 cents/mile). That's not bad, but it's not great.
