Just called to ask about having the fee waived on the Gold card. No arguement at all, a very simple "yes, you've been a customer for so long so that's fine". Dug a little deeper to see what they could do with the Platinum card... got a long winded story about how good it was and eventually agreed to give me the Platinum for the price of the Gold which I was pretty happy with. I'll have a go at getting it free next year!
I'm pretty happy with the combo I have now. Earth Platinum for Amex purchases at $1=1.5 and Woolies Qantas for MC at $1=1. Add on the Earth Platinum travel insurance which seems like one of the better ones and, better still, the domestic hire car insurance and all in all a pretty good deal.

Tried to get it waived. Did not work despite talking to them nicely. 
So got them to cancel the card as no offers were made.
Spend was > 50k last year. So in essence at an avg of 2% as Merchant fees, they would lose out roughly over a grand of fees generated by my usage.
Might as well get 20,000 points from ANZ from their current offer for similar costs.
