Annual fee for Venture card appeared on my statement this month. Called this morning, talked to an agent in Tampa and just asked if there was a retention offer available.
He clarified what I was asking for -- a credit of the fee and I said "yes or points to cover the fee." About 15 seconds and I was told that I was getting a "one time" credit equal to the annual fee of $59.
I guess one time a year since I've had this card since the match your miles offer in 2011 and never paid an annual fee.
My annual spend on this card is about $20,000 -- so the overall rebate is $400.
