I just got them to waive ( credit back) my red card annual fee that was recently charged. The rep I spoke to was very familiar with the missing red card EQD benefit.
She did read a disclosure that by waiving the $89 annual fee , it "might" prevent my eligibility for any new promos or bonuses for the next 90 days. But I doubt I'll have $89 worth of bonuses, so I didn't think twice
