I noticed that most if not all of the cards that Dan has links to waive the fee for the first year. However, Chase has a ton more cards that don't - Ritz-Carlton, Fairmont, and many others.
Does Chase ever offer these cards without a fee for the first year, like on a limited time basis? And if not, maybe we can put pressure on them to do so
Start a letter writing campaign with FT and BoardingArea? hehe
