Speaking of downgrade, if I downgrade during the year, does anyone know whether the annual fee will refund as prorated? also, what about the promo that I signed up already "bonus miles after spending XXX during May-June period", will it still be effective or get void? thanks

What do you say over the phone? And did the CSR pull our your account and check it specially before giving out this bonus (so it could be specific to each account)? I called and was told there is no such promo for just phoning and asking.. (and they need mention that I have already subscribed the offer to get 3500 points by spending XXX dollars between May-Jun).. Just hoping to get both..
Thanks
Thanks

I called and they gave me 3500points which I can use for waiving the fee. All I have to do is wait 5-7 days and then I am able to transfer them for the fee. Great deal and good job us bank!^

Did you call customer service number on the back of the card or some other number. I tried twice and both times they suggested using points in my account to pay for the annual fee. They wouldn't give any bonus points. Also they mentioned that I am enrolled for the 3500 bonus points for spending $250 and I can use those points.

As sivayya said, they arent offering me anything other than you are signed up for the 3,500 bonus points that you get if you spend more than 1500 through June. I called during the weekend. Should I call during the week? Am I calling the wrong number (I'm using the one on the back of the card). ???????????

waive fee
I called the number on my bill. I assume that is the number on the back of the card. They said they would put 3500 points in my account and than i could use them for the fee. They said they should show up next month. I have two cards both personal as I had two NW cards. They waived the fee on both of them. I assume I will also get the additional points for charging during May and June. I have a lot of points in both accounts. My question now is do I have to use those points for the fee?

Hmmm... I would also like to downgrade. But, I have already put a lot on this card since the last statement. Would I lose (half) the points on charges I have already made? How about downgrading after the next statement closes? Would they refund the annual fee?

After seeing this thread, I too called in and got the 3500 points to redeem for my annual fee. Question is, do I have to use those 3500 points for that? Or can I just add them to my stash?
$49 / 3500 = 1.4 cents per mile. Not bad in my book.

I value the 3,500 points higher than the $49 annual fee so I'm keeping them. With these bonuses the points add up faster than I thought they would. I like this product.

I didn't receive the 3,500 bonus points offer everybody is talking about. Perhaps it is offered only to those with the annual fee coming up?

+1. 20,000 points can get a flight of up to $400, or 2 cpp. So I wouldn't use the 3,500 points to offset the annual fee, although my annual fee is waived from spending over $24K, mostly on coins.
