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

No chase calls for the last year. Both cards open for 1 year, some minor spend other than minimum spend, calls right after annual fees hit.
Call 1:
SW Premier Business - $100 statement credit, accepted
Call 2:
SW Priority Personal - $35 statement credit, accepted (forgot to ask if there were additional offers).

I have had an Ink Plus for more than 5 years, primarily for 5x points on office supplies, cell phone and internet. When Citi devalued the Prestige card, I opened an Ink Preferred for cell phone insurance, biz travel benefits. At this point, my office supply purchases are very minimal, called to cancel the Plus on the anniversary, Chase waived AF.
Chase Ink Plus 12/8/19 Card member for more than 5 years, moved most spend to Ink Preferred earlier this year, Chase Private Client. Called to cancel on anniversary, immediately offered $95 statement credit (full annual fee).

I haven't used the card since meeting the minimum spend, and called on the 1 year anniversary after the annual fee posted.

I am in the same boat, how did you approach the agent? Did you just ask if there were any offers available?

Have had Chase Ink Biz Plus for years for the 5X office supplies, $95 AF.
Called and asked for retention, told there is a $50 offer on the acct:
"Is this to get an offer or are you really going to cancel the card?"
"Uh, no I have another business card. Is it possible to get the offer?
(grumbling) "Yes, I can apply the offer"
Gotta work for them offers now...
