I have a perfect history of paying on time and always pay my balance in full. I called a week ago and requested that they review the fees. I got the letter today saying they would not waive them, so I called and talked to a supervisor and then her supervisor. No-one was at all interested in being helpful.

I've canceled my card and would warn others to be very careful. I filed a complaint with the BBB and found that this company has 103 complaints relating to billing in addition to more than 30 other types of complaints.
