I applied for and got the AA Business card this past March. When I saw this thread I called and asked them to waive my yearly fee since they were now offering the same card with the first 12 months free.... she took the information and said they needed to "contact" a manager and I would have an answer in 7-10 days..... does this sound right? Usually these decisions can be made on the spot by a CSR of a C.C. company while on the phone......
