- No annual fee waver this year however. So the "price" of the 5K miles bonus is essentially "$89"

He was so nice that I decided not to cancel the card on that call but I will call back and officially cancel it later - the offer is simply not good enough even with annual 10K miles rebate.

PS. They keep pretty good records of all the offers and retention offers ever given for the life of the account - he was reading it off from the screen.
Which is going away (for those who had it up to now) in another year or so anyway:
