does min spend include annual fee

Forgive me for asking the question but I can't remember where I read whether the minimum spending would include the annual fee or not. I have the B of A Virgin Atlantic AMEX card and I need to spend $2500 within 3 months. Including the annual fee i am at $2505. Am I good or do I need to purchase another $85 or more?

Generally the annual fee is not considered part of the minimum spend - you have to spend $85 more - I could use a new webcam, just PM me for the shipping address

If you're going to spend $85 at Vons on GCs, why not buy a $100 Visa GC for $105.95 and get a $10 off coupon for the next visit?

No. Do not ever count on the fee in your spend calculation. It is classified as a fee, and not considered a sale/charge.

Blaze away at the gas pump or otherwise so you are not short.
