Lowering Discover APR

Anyone had any experiences recently, good/bad, getting a Discover More APR lowered?  Our account has been opened since late '08 and and has never been paid late.  The current APR is 18.9% - when I called to get it lowered the CSR couldn't do it, but did mail me some form to fill out to go to a different department.  Anyone know what this form is and what it entails? I don't think I'd send it back if a HP is involved.

 

$6k CL, current bal $1.1k
