I was able to downgrade the card to no annual fee. They are sending me a new card within 3 to 5 business days as it's a VISA and the one I have now is MC.
They said nothing else with change though. Hopefully, they are right.
Once I get the no annual fee card, I then plan to open up a SW card.
Thanks for the help!
