Thanks, I do see "Earn 10,000 AAdvantageŽ annual anniversary miles after payment of the annual fee.' under rewards...so I guess I am good to go. I still have not been successful getting the $89 fee waived this year. I have been lucky in the past. I'm assuming my zero spend on the card has something to do with it. :-)
I had SM'd customer service and have been told that the 10,000 AA anniversary miles will be discontinued as of 12/31/15. :-(
