Dan, What are some of the ways to be successful getting annual fee waived even after the first year or is not worth the time?

At times, they may give you s/t if they think you're a profitable customer. AMEX wouldn't do anything for me on a few cards, b/c I had little activity on the accounts.

Not somuch a retention bonus but when I signed up for SPG a long time ago, I messed up and didn't hit the threshold to get the 15K bonus. I sent a message to them a month or two back stating that and that I've been a good customer since spending a lot of money, always paying on time etc and they gave me the 15K without a fight.
Similar situation with Chase Ink. I signed up inside a bank branch and got a measly 10K points and barely used the card. I noticed an offer recently for spending X amount to get a bonus15Kand sent a SM that I was never told about the offer when I signed up. They tried not giving to me but I sent a second message and they gave me 20K points just like that,never had to spend the 3K or 5K or whatever. Gonna try in a year for retention

i called them twice within 2 weeks. both times the reps said they cant waive the fee but they can offer 2500 bonus. i accepted both times. do u think i will get 2500 twice or will they only give it to me once?

Has anyone been successful with the Hyatt card? They tell me that the free night is enough to keep the card (they are correct)

Yup, cards that give retention bonuses like HGP and SWA will probably be difficult.
I would try with the tactic that you only stay in cat 5/6 hotels...

So don't.
There's no sin in paying $75 for a cat. 4 night.

That's what I plan on doing. Also includes free wifi. Definitely worth it for me. Just wanted to see if anyone had any success. Already plan on using at Andaz weho. A paid night is like 280 during the summer
