Morgan Stanley Card - Loophole

AT LAST! I have had my £20 annual fee on my classic Morgan Stanley card waived!
After two attempts to get the bankers :mad: to waive the fee (included one heated argument in which the customer advisor was adamant I would be charged) I appear to have won the battle - in a 30 second phone call!
I did it because of fraudulent activity on my card, in which a new one was sent. The letter contained a leaflet about the card, all the details about the APR and cashback etc etc etc. But on the list of card benefits it said no annual fee.
I immediately phoned up and said I had received this leaflet with my card and, would you believe it, he waived the fee for a year.
I still intend to leave next year, but this could be a possible loophole. It might be worth phoning up and asking for a new card because yours is, say damaged, and then phone up when the new card arrives to get the £20 fee waived.
It might work. Good luck!:beer:
