SM Chase before and/or after getting the card and they will often waive the $95 yearly fee for the first year.

I closed the card literally yesterday because of the AF (was still within my 60). Classic.

Not really upset, though, because I don't use the card for everyday spending anyway so I don't really need it open.

Where does it say it's free?
The app page still shows $95 fee for me.

I believe that I saw somewhere that you can apply for this card with the same ffn as long as it has been 24 months since the card was opened.  Can anyone confirm?

Why take the chance? Use a new one.

I have the card still from the 100k offer but had downgraded it to a fee free version(Don't want to cancel as it's one of my earlier cards and good for my score). Can I get the bonus again?
