First call got US based rep. Would not be willing to make a request when system did not show an offer. I brought up the heavy spending on A+ but the rep still refused to transfer me to manager or put in a request.

Hang up and called again in 10 min, got Philippines based rep who was willing to go thru system (nothing offered) then put in a request. A couple minutes later the request came back as approved. AF would be credited back though she isn't sure within same statement or next. I have to monitor the account in next 2 weeks to make sure if I need to pay it first as we would be on a long trip soon and would be aboard when the payment due date comes.

For those of you when you get an AF waiver on a billed AF, when did you see the statement credit posted?
For me a few days later.

I called to ask if they were offering any promotions. Their response was no, but they could give me a statement credit of for my annual fee. Took it. I was only charged $44.50 and they credited me $89 on the new card I opened 2 weeks before!
