so u call before the annual fee appear on the statement? or after?
sorry i dont have experience call-for-free_annual_fee

my experience is just i want to cancel mbb last year 2010, but they offer me another 3 years free annual fee + 10k tp to offset the gst, no increased cl ~ so i just accept it (but plan to terminate it this year 2011).
i called when I see the annual fee has charged into my account... sometimes even b4 the statements come out (when i check my transcations online)
the very typical way i use is...
ello, I'm XXXXXXX my card number is XXXXXXXX.. is saw that an annual fee had been charged into my account... i will like to request for a waiver...
and the typical answer will be...
okie Mr. XXXX... i will send a request for annual fee waiver for u... but it is depending on the management approval...
success rate til date... 90%... only one silly bank called back and ask me to pay 1 free 1...

.
p.s: make sure u did spend using their cards la... to be fair... dun expect to put their card in ur wallet for display for a year then request for a waiver...

I think someone canceled his Citibank credit card a while ago because Citibank wasn't willing to waive his credit card annual fee unless he enroll in Citibank Autopay with 3 different bills but the problem was, he didn't have so many bills to sign up for Citibank Autopay and Citibank wasn't really helpful either. So he ended up canceling his card.
Argh ... then how come they did no honor the 15% discount for CIMB World MasterCard holder ...
This is news to me. Great !
I see you're a huge Starbuck fan
Agreed. Even HSBC has made their credit card free for life by using their cards at least 12 times a year.
Sort of like a buy 1 free 1 promotion

Citibank is good for me.. i got waiver from them for like many many years already... lolx
eraman give 15% for wine, cigaratte and perfurm for WMC...
but for other shops that r selling computer and ipad accesorries, i dun even want to buy from them even they r giving me 50 % discount...
