I'm glad capital one is taking them over...however, i'm not so sure they're any better.
This is cheesy, IMO.
I hate big banking as much as anyone (way more than most people, in fact), but I'm not going to lower myself to their so-called standards.
FYI! Called back today! Got the fee waived for one more year!!
NO AF of 59.00 THIS YEAR BABY!!!!!!!!
i am one of the few that has ever gotten the entire inital AF waived on a RZMC. i canceled it 10 months later so i have never had to pay an AF on a gold RZMC.

Man that sounds suspect to me........
I called to cancel my RZMC Gold and the guy waived the AF so I kept it open

Congrats!!
I have HSBC Platinum and HSBC BEST BUY MC. I called in December about AF on Platinum which is $59.00 and told them that I'm cancelling my account...got an American on the line and he told me he will credit my account $50.00 and I should see it within 7-10 days. I figured $9 bucks I aint going to argue and told him fine I will keep it open. Well I seen the credit for $50.00 and then called for a CLI on Best Buy MC and they refused the CLI, however 7-10 days later I seen a $20 credit for AF on BBRZMC. I figured weird, but I aint going to say anything. HSBC Platinum is going to be closed next January. It was confirmed to me 3 times that this was a rebuilder card and it will NEVER go above $300.00 limit. I figured that I will keep it as a positive tradeline and open UTIL until AF hits in January 2013 and then close it out...unless CAPONE gods allow me to have a CLI on it although based on their pattern I will most likely seen their gods before I get a CLI.
