Let me just check your account here for offers..." and then she faded off, making it seem like she shouldn't have said this, and then came back VERY FAST and said "by closing your account today, you will lose all Red Aviator benefits...." blah blah blah. The usual. I just hung up.

So I'm guessing like 99% of accounts are available for this annual fee waiver, but for some reason I'm part of the 1% that isn't. It's so weird.... It has to be my account. This was my 6th time trying.
And this was a specialist? Not the first person you talked to when you called?
