thanks for the screenshot, really appreciated. I dont see anywhere "cumulative/transaction spend" counter in my statement. I guess I still need to call them up.

update: call them up, apparently my card is not eligible for the auto waiver. those under auto-waiver are given under some promotion, so what they can do is put me up under retention plan whereby i need to swipe min 3 times within 3 months and they will refund back the annual fee.
