Over on myFICO there's reports from a bunch of Premier cardholders who got their AFs waived without asking. Anyone here see that happen? I haven't personally.

I spoke too soon. I just checked got my latest statement and they gave me an annual fee adjustment. So, no fee for the foreseeable future. Hopefully this doesn't mean they are ending the card.. because this is an amazing deal for lounge access

Mine hasn't been credited but I am thinking about joining UNFCU so that I have a backup (their $50 AF card has lounge access too, but only the first four visits are free).

For those that were smart enough to jump on board last year I hope they don't cut you off. However, I also hope that something happens so that they open up for new applications again. Thanks for the updates at any rate.

I am not due a renewal until next month but I use this as my every day card, due to having two small kids in diapers and the 3x at grocery stores (our main shopping venue!).
I'll report back if they refund me the fee next month, hopefully they won't cut the card.

Spouse's Premier Card. $95 fee billed 9.30.2015, not refunded. (Long time Professional card holder, closed that account sometime after opening this one.)

Also, how's everyone's credit? If they are going to cancel more cards soon then it might be something in the credit profiles of those who got refunds that caused them.
Me: FICO above 800 on all three bureaus and no negatives on my reports. It's also been almost a year or so since I last applied for credit and IIRC my average account age is something like 4-5 years. As I posted before, my AF wasn't refunded.

...for no reason. I did not call. Nothing. I just paid it, and now it shows an "annual fee adjustment" of -$300 and my account has a credit balance of $300. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Did this happen to anyone else?
I have slowed down on the card recently, but I still want to keep it open for future use. Used to do under $5k a month, but its been a few since I even did that. Now I only do a couple hundred a month. Never had any problem with them. $20k limit.
What gives? I mean, I don't want to call...am I the only one?
