What's with companies charging full fees for diminished benefits? I'm a bit annoyed about being charged in full for my Marriott card annual fee and Amazon Prime mebership

How are you getting reduced benefits from amazon prime?

like

Then just cancel your membership and stop putting money in a billionaires pocket. If that was your sentiment you would’ve said “let’s all cancel amazon,” not “I wAnT mY mOnIeS wOrTH”

If you call Marriott they will waive your entire fee this year

helpful

That’s great! How did you start the call?

you can cancel or before the fee? don’t see why that’s an issue

I canceled my citi prestige at $495. Done in 5 mins.

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
