You don't need to cancel just downgrade

Its not considered the same product? For example if you have the us airways no annual fee card is it easy to get the annual fee card?

AF & non AF are different products.

Why don't you ask them to waive it ?

Ask for an account specialist.

thanks for the advice

How likely is it to get annual fee waived? Is it smarter to cancel, and reapply at later time? How long to wait to reapply? In the interim is there anything close in terms of cash back? Citis Double Cash seems good but no signup bonus

People have gotten AF waived and/or 5k points.

I just tried to redeem miles on an Arrival (not Arrival+) card. I have over 2600 miles available, and the purchase was for hundreds of dollars, but the system only offered the option of redeeming 2500 miles. I was hoping to redeem my full balance, and the video suggests that I should be able to, but for some reason it's not working.

Any ideas? It's only a dollar and change, but I'd like to get what I'm due.

You can only redeem in increments of 2500.

I thought the minimum was 2500 but redemptions could be anything greater than that.

Here's a screenshot from Barclays' own instructional video, showing the option of 112,222 miles.

I believe if your redeeming for the full amount of the charge than you can do anything greater than 2500.

Ah, but I can't use up all my points (if not a multiple of 2500) if they don't consume the entire charge. Seems strange, but I'll live.

To be safe, whats the longest amount of time needed between closing the card and reopening? Did I read somewhere 3 months?

greatdeals · « **Reply #638 on:** April 06, 2015, 12:49:42 PM »

I applied around 2 months ago and was declined
do you think it is to early to apply again?

I don't think it's a smart idea to apply for the same card so soon, better wait a few months
