Annual Fee Waive on QS1?

[Anonymous]

I had a Cap1 Platinum that Cap1 offered to upgrade to QS1 while still retaining the $19 AF. So of course I upgraded to get the 1.5% CB. My question is, has anyone been successful at having the AF waived on this?

The fee doesnt hit until August but I'm trying to plan ahead. Any suggestions?

Use the chat to ask to PC to the no-AF card. GL! Or having it waived, of course..

Thanks Kenny! 

Would you suggest waiting until closer to when the AF hits or is it safe to ask for PC now?  IIRC the upgrade to QS was just a couple of months ago.

Contact EO via email, ask if they will remove your AF. I just got mine removed for QS1 and only been with them for 7 months. No luck on PC though. So should be easy for you to get it waived.

If they waive the fee permanently, the QS1 becomes a defacto QS. Might as well try to get it waived.

They will just upgrade to QS. Not de facto.   Just tell them.

So I called in and asked for PC to the No-AF card and they said I have no offers showing on my account. I then requested the AF be waived and they said they can't waive it but if I call in after the AF posts to the account they will credit it back to me. I did request that a note be added to my account so I don't have any issues with the credit and the CSR said she added a note.

Guess I can wait and see how this pans out once the AF hits and I request the credit.

On the other hand I'm wondering if I should contact the EO to ask for permanent fee waive since I've read quite a few posts of people being successful going that route. Thoughts, anyone?

Well I can't say. But I will give you my experience. I also had the qs1. After having for 6 months. And getting cli. That's when they offered upgrade and gave no AF version. As limit was over 3k after then. That is also requirement. What is your limit on qs1.?

Yes. Upgrade > Waive.

Limit is 4k
