What is an annual fee?

The annual fee is a cost that your credit card provider charges yearly to keep the card active and allows you to enjoy the card benefits. In most cases, credit cards with a higher annual fee provide more benefits.

Cardholders can call credit card issuers at the 11th month after card issuance to request an annual fee waiver. You can also call after you have been charged. This can usually be done over the automated service over the phone 24 hours a day.

Become designated customers

Some banks offer an annual fee waiver for designated members. For example, American Express Cathay Pacific Elite Credit Card offers an annual fee waiver for Marco Polo Club members.

Redeem points for an annual fee waiver

Cardholders can also redeem points earned for the annual fee waiver. But before you do this, it is better to call the customer service hotline to check if you can get it waived first.
