Got one year, I was slow in calling the Cs to waive the annual fee, slow like more than 3 months.
Cs informed me, can waive 50% after checking with superior. The other 50% can use rewards point to deduct.

Last month, my 2 cc with shared CL also kena annual fees.
called up the CS, they waived.
informed me if I use both my cards within 1 month { 1 transaction for each card) , the sst for both cards also can be deducted.
