    Why?
    - Misconception that credit card annual fees are compulsory to be paid
    - Hence some do not apply for credit card as they felt that the cashback/miles earned will not be worth it for the annual fees paid
    - I do not pay any annual fees
    - Other than the first annual fee for AMEX KrisFlyer Ascend that is cannot be waived
    - I always request for waiver
    How?
    - Most credit cards usually have first year fee waived
    - Annual fees are charged for the subsequent year
    - Can only waive annual fees when they are already charged
    - If bank do not waive the fees, just request to cancel. They can either just cancel for you or will ask you to not cancel and maybe give you some freebie e..g. $5 statement credit
    - Because the gift for new customers is much more expensive e.g. $400 for new customers on Citi
    - Why don’t I cancel all the cards. Because of air miles in Citi, DBS where you want to keep those miles for longer shelf life before transferring to Airline Loyalty Programs
    Demonstrate
    DBS Digibot:
    - Type “Fee waiver”
    - Get authenticated via SMS OTP or Bank Mobile app
    - Select Fee Waiver - Credit Card Fee Waiver - Annual Fee - Select credit card e.g. DBS Live Fresh - Confirm
    UOB Chat Assist:
    - Solve Captcha
    - Select Fee Waiver - Credit Card - Membership fee - Enter Card Number - Confirm
    Citi Private Message:
    Send a secured message through Citi Online Portal.
    For cards that give you miles on annual fee paid e.g. Citi PremierMiles do indicate that you are willing to forfeit the 10,000 miles to save $192.60 of Annual fees
    AMEX Online Chat:
    - Chat via App and request for waiver
    - Answer security question to verify
    - Wait for confirmation

    Just sharing my experience: The only bank that I have encountered so far that does not waive is Standard Chartered because of their new system to verify on whether you hit the min spending of the year. In the past you can call/write in to waive, but recently they changed it to some automated verification where if you don't meet the min spending then you will be charged. Very rigid, tried for 2 weeks to appeal but unsuccessful. But usually SC cards have 1-2 years fee waiver when you sign up so just remember to cancel your card before then and re-sign up again if you really enjoy the benefits.
    But yes for most banks, if you call or write in, it will be waived. Even the agents at the bank or roadshow will tell you the same thing, just that it may be fuss free or hard sell process haha.

    How come you mentioned not worth paying the annual fees for the 10k miles, are there alternatives to get the same 10k miles for lesser than $192 spending on other bank credit cards?

    @stfubar2365 10 місяців тому

    I've been using OCBC Frank and 365 card since 2016 and they've always approved my request to a fee waiver. Might also be because I have a savings account with them since I was a kid?

    Hey Chris, what if I have a couple of instalment plans with my credit card and I want to request an annual fee waiver, do you think it's possible?

    • @HoneyMoneySG
      @HoneyMoneySG  Рік тому

      Yes annual fee waivers are possible, but not 100%

  • @chenyuwang9130
    @chenyuwang9130 Рік тому +2

    New knowledge got! If they already deducted the annual fee,can I still ask them to waive annual fee and return back to me?

    @auguestra Рік тому +1

    Hihi, for citibank you can call in thru their hotline and use the number selection to request waiver on the spot. I have done it a few times, will be faster than writing and sending a secured msg.

  • @jonathanteo1013
    @jonathanteo1013 Рік тому

    Can I confirm, you mean it is possible to get waivers even for cards that have stated they require some minimum spending threshold in order to waive? e.g dbs woman's world card

  • @SAKAICHEWY
    @SAKAICHEWY 7 місяців тому

    I threatened to cancel the card if they wouldn't get rid of the annual fees and they said ok go ahead we don't care because the annual fee is all they make. Beginners needing credit that have to do prepaid and annual fees you end up feeling stuck to not hurt credit

    Hi Chris, May i check, if i use a certain credit card for years with a lot of cashback but suddenly on the coming year, they say they cannot waive off the annual fees. What should we do?

    • @HoneyMoneySG
      @HoneyMoneySG  Рік тому +1

      Redeem all your cashback, then Cancel the card.

    • @jonachan2865
      @jonachan2865 Рік тому

      @@HoneyMoneySG So there will still be enough time for you to redeem and use the cashback before the card is cancelled?

  • @reynaldoflores4522
    @reynaldoflores4522 Рік тому

    The more and higher you spend using your credit card, the better chance of waiving the annual fee. Is that correct ?
