Am now, thanks.

I got an email from U.S air with a link to invite friends and get 10k points for every friend that signs up, up to 50k points.
The email says that all friends have to apply and be approved by Jan 18th so that might be when the card dies.

Your quote doesn't say one must be approved by that date too. (It does say in the email I got [which I got after closing my card, so it's probably not worth anything])

2 reps have told me they don't see an option to waive the AF. (It has not yet posted to my account.) What have people been doing?

Wait till it posts and call again

Thanks. Do I still need to make a purchase to get the points? Or is waiving the AF enough?

Waiving the AF is enough.

Pay the AF, then the miles will post, and then after the miles post to your USAirways account, have them refund the fee/downgrade the card/cancel the card and you will get the $89 back.
Getting the AF waived before the miles post may result in you not getting the miles.

Thanks guys! I'll play it safe.

If approved automatically yes, but if you have to HUCA your chances are very slim,

ETF:
Best is to downgrade to a different product, not closing, since even after closing they could still see you had the card.

Is downgrading to the no fee card good enough ? Or better a different card all together . like the rewards card?
I downgraded to the us air no fee card 2 weeks ago

To a different product is better, IINM there were reports upthread of US no fee being a problem

No fee seems to be good enough.
I didn't read the whole thread, but I don't remember anyone having a problem.

I asked for a different card but they did not want to. I will try and report back.

By the way my BIL downgraded to the no fee us air card and got instant approval again
