This thread is the 2019 version of our https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chase-ultimate-rewards/1710270-chase-retention-bonus-offers-june-2015-present-all-cards.html
Please give us the following data:
Current retention offers (specify the date [mm/dd/yyyy], the card, the offer, how long you had the card and yearly spend)
When you call, you MUST ask if there are any offers on your account. Don't ask for an AF waiver, ask if they can credit your account the $95 (or whatever your AF is) to your account. They cannot remove the AF, but they can credit an amount to offset it. If you cancel your card within 30 days of receiving retention bonus, then Chase may claw back that bonus Note that Chase has shortened the period in which you can close the card and get the fee refunded. It is 30 days for most (or all?) cards.
If you don't get a retention bonus, the card you are holding may have the option of a downgrade. Cards that are downgraded may be upgraded at a later date. Consolidated discussion of that topic is here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chase...16-onward.html

Bonvoy Brilliant first renewal - everyone gets $25 extra statement credit (if registered). Additionally, I got 20k Marriott points for spending $2k in 3 months.

Wow killer! Makes me wonder if retention is down (performance?) so they're trying their best to maintain members.

Chase United Explorer -- retention?
I'm likely going to cancel my Chase United Mileage Explorer card due to the annual fee. Have folks been getting any retention offers for keeping this card?

But of course, your experience might be different. How much does it hurt to try?

This is a short thread, and you wouldn't have had to look back far to see:

I called Chase and all they offered me was a downgrade to a no annual fee card. I declined--I already have too many cards.
I've always wondered if I should ask for the retention department [if there really is such a thing).

I called today about the Southwest Airlines Premier card and got no offer.
I asked the rep to move the credit line to another Chase card I have and then closed the card. Last year I got a $100 statement credit.
