Aviator Red, 3 yrs old with annual 10k bonus, approx $1,500 spend each of last 2 years. Told front-line rep I was thinking about cancelling. She immediately asked, "Is it because of the AF?" and transferred me to a specialist.

The retention specialist first tried to sell me on converting to the no-AF Aviator card, then to Arrival (non-Plus). "Do you have any offers on the Aviator Red?" I asked for about the third time. She insisted there was no AF waiver available but did offer a few other promos including my choice of 5k points for $1k spend or +1 point extra on a few categories for 90 days. I took the 5k/$1k offer.
