                        \n
                      • The clock starts once the annual fee posts to your account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • If you meet one of the two spending criteria within 60 days, you can call 111\u2011225\u2011111 within 3 months<\/strong> to request the fee reversal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Federal Excise Duty (FED)<\/strong> on the fee is not reversible<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n

                        According to user experiences, fee waivers are processed upon request, but you must call the helpline after fulfilling the spending condition.<\/p>\n\n\n
