It’s been almost three years since I did it, but I once got a late fee waived with an email! I paid my credit card just a few days late, and it was because a scheduled transfer didn’t go through. So I just emailed, said it was my first ever late payment, and that I would like the fee waved. They gave me a little email lecture about not paying late, but they did waive the fee!

These days, you may have to call to get it done, since banks and credit card companies are stingier with their money. Here’s a hint: nearly all banks have at least a $125 “customer acquisition cost” (meaning, the amount they have to spend in advertising/setup/etc. to acquire a new customer). Mention this in your phone call if you’ve got someone stubborn on the other line. “I know it costs your company $125 to acquire a new customer, I’d hate for you to lose me over a $35 fee…” It actually works sometimes!
