Chase first-year fee waiver
« on: December 05, 2012, 09:25:02 AM »
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 ;)

I'm sure if it makes sense to their bean counters to offer it with no fee that they will and that someone here will post it when it happens.

I'm sure that's true, though I might have some insights to better play the churning game.

Did you apply?

No, but I did apply at Citibank.  In truth I'm chasing after opportunities at public accounting firms.  Banks are second rate in terms of accounting experience.

Fairmont started with no fee for a short while
