I got such a deal from them years ago and have been happy.  However, my
deal was that as long as I spent the credit limit in one year, the
annual fee was waived.  No problem there until the credit limit began
to rise...  At this point the limit would be more suitable for the
Sultan of Brunei, and so the card costs $45/year since I just can't
spend enough money to make it free :^)  Is this the way they work
presently??  I should dump it and just use my free ATT Gold card, but
there's inertia.

I've never had any trouble at all.  

>--Their Chase Bonus Dollar promotion... is it really worth much?
The Bogus Dollar promotion doesn't mean much.  Periodically, they send
a catalog of the usual stereos, cameras, watches, and TV sets.  They
show the full list price and then apply so many of your Bogus Dollars
to get it down to a typical sale price in Anytown, USA.  With Price
Club and Costco nearby, it's worthless to me.  I've accumulated many 
thousands of Bogus Dollars - maybe this can be one way I'll be a
millionaire someday!  Now if I could just use my Chase Gold VISA at
Price Club....
