My annual fee posts 12/29/15 and I've already received my annual 10K bonus miles. I did have the card with the perpetual bonus every year. Don't know if that helps, but I'm still unsure if they'll post next year as well since I no longer see that benefit on any literature Barclays sends me nowadays.

I'm going to call in and see if I can have them waive the annual fee. I'll report back. I also received the 15K bonus offer for spending 500/500/500 in Dec/Jan/Feb and the 2X miles on grocery store/movies/utilities so I'm curious how lenient they'll be considering this.
