How did you up it to 50.by phone or sm?did you mention any specific offer code or something like that?
it actually happened a couple weeks ago. i sent them an SM that i heard there was a different offer, and i'd like them to change my offer to that one. they wrote back that that offer doesn't include the $50 credit, so they need me to verify before they make the change. i sent back that i verify and nothing happened.
today i wrote to them to argue the annual fee, so i wrote that i changed offers from the 30k to the 50k, but BOTH offers had no annual fee for first year, so they wrote back that they just added the extra 20k to my account (and they totally ignored the question about the annual fee!) so...
I called, and the guy told me that the way a waived annual fee works is that first you need to pay it and then in a few months they credit it back.
