SCB Manhattan card

Annual fees arrived for my old Manhattan card....so guess it is not auto cancelled after having the new Manhattan world card.
Anyway call in & went through the automated machine to waive the card....when reach to the waiver option..............silence over the phone...........tried again & still..............bah!!!SCB down the waiver process????.....gotta call direct to officer then.

Last time they did not waive my annual fees.....no choice but to pay cos still gain with multiple 5% rebates......now will terminate since got World card as backup.

For SCB, i just send them a msg thru internet banking and they will waive for me.

I just did the same for my citibank card last week.

HSBC automatically waive off for me, first time ever and considering i just spend like $2k max for the past year. I guess they really want me as their customer.

i call in and press the waiver option and all my cards annual cards for SCB got waiver of the annual fee one shot..

for citibank, call in for waiver and leave down phone number.. never get back after 3 days. call in to CSO and ask, and after 30s, all annual fee waived... only amex does not want to waive the annual fee for reward cards, so i cancelled it since i have already converted all my points to miles....

for me, no waive = cancel the card. never believed in paying annual fees unless its for a very good reason..

at the most, apply for the same card again once u cancelled.

Not true. I had a Platinum credit card and had the annual fee waived for 4 years in a row (including the first). This was the case even during the years where I had little spending on the card.
