I have been able to have my annual fee waived on all ************ this year in light of the PANDEMIC. Once the fee appears on my statement, I call in and ask to have it removed in light of the global circumstances. In every case the agent removed the fee without much discussion. This is especially easy to do if your card offers any travel related benefits (lounge access, travel insurance, car rental insurance, airline perks, etc.) since most people aren't traveling much at the moment and many airport lounges, for example, are closed.
Worth a shot.
Get some!!!
