I currently have two credit cards. AMEX and Visa. I've had the AMEX for 2 years and keep a zero balance on it, I don't want to close it since it's been my longest card I've had...but I never keep a balance on it due to my interest rate, I don't like paying interest. Luckily, there is no annual fee. Now, I have a rewards/miles VISA card which I just opened last year and now they're charging me a $50 annual fee....I thought it wouldn't be a problem, but I kinda regret getting a credit card with an annual fee, when I don't need it. I only got it for the bonus miles and 0% interest. The only problem is, on this VISA card I have an outstanding balance of $8,000 which I can't pay all off right now, but I will over the next few months. I was thinking of finding another credit card with 0% and no annual fee, that way I can transfer my balance. But will the VISA waive this $50 fee? I didn't want to call them and cancel my card because I'm afraid they will slap on some high interest or a high monthly payment which I'm tight right now for my payment to increase. What would be best to do? Sign up for another CC now with no annual fee and get the introductory 0% and then just do a balance transfer and cancel my VISA and waive the fee? Would they waive the fee if I told them that I don't want to keep the card that has an annual fee?
