I applied for the Chase Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Premier Card last year because I got 50,000 BONUS POINTS for spending $2,000 in the first 3 months.  This offer is still available, you can apply for the card here.  I never used the card after receiving the initial 50,000 bonus points.

I just got a bill for the $99 annual fee.  I never use the card and do not want to pay the annual fee.  I called Chase and asked them to waive the fee, they said no.  They did negotiate a little bit in that they offered me 3,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points to keep the card.  I said no.  3,000 points are not worth $99 to me.  I should note, that I did receive the 6,000 points that were due to me on my cardmember anniversary, despite the fact that I am not keeping the card.

As I just wrote about the other day, I also received my statement from Citibank for my Citi/AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite MasterCard $95 annual fee.  This is another card I do not use and only got because of a sign-up bonus.  Citibank happily made me an offer to use the card 5x on purchases of $20 or more and they will waive the fee. I happily accepted.  Amex also recently made me an offer for a $150 statement credit to keep a card.

I wish Chase would change their policy to Citibank’s policy or American Express’ policy and keep people like me from canceling their cards!!  (Note-this does not seem like Citi’s policy any more)

... I saved $700 in annual fees and scored 120,000 worth of bonus points. I also got $100 off a pair of fancy headphones and $200 worth of airline gift cards. ....

I am obsessed with Cindy "The Points Mom". Today she saved me 100,000 points and $1500 booking a flight...

A huge shout out to CINDY GREENSTEIN, aka The Points Mom, for helping me book our flights to Greece using points. Money wise it would have cost $12k. I learned so much from her! Contact her. You will not be disappointed.
