Seems like Chase is very easy to get the AF waived just got 2 cards waived and it took 60 sec... amex a bit harder

Just tried via SM for both me and DW. Both got similar response. See below.

Seems to be a new thing with them. It used to be a given that it would be an option.

Yes didn't find any recent DP of a option to downgrade

Amex Gold - offered me 20k points or $150 with $1,500 spend. Been a member since 2011

I got the 150 with 1500 offer. No mention of points.

Got 15k on everyday preferred and 15k on Hilton surpass with no spend required.
I called about a week apart.
I spend a decent amount on each.
No luck with the Bonvoy business though

How long since the last retention offer? That's what counts.

Very easy with capital one. Just call and ask.

Any offers on Capital One Venture card?

My first $95 fee just came down, and don't want to lose the ability to use my 100k points.

Usually just asking does the trick.

Wow that was really easy! Thank you so much. I simply just asked if they can waive it and he said yes. They're giving me a one time credit of $95 for it. Wonder if I'll be able to do it again next year.

Should be able to. I haven't been turned down yet... several different cards over several years.
