I was on active orders (IMT) when I first got the card, so they waived the $500 fee for the first year. Now I am normal reserve status and the card renewal is coming up. I definitely don't need to keep the card if I have to pay that fee (as much as I like the airport lounges and Audible subscription). I've had a tough time getting a clear answer from American Express. Would appreciate any insight from reservists who have had this card, thank you!

Contact one of these three gentlemen... they are very knowledgeable in Military related questions/issues. This may be a longshot... but doesn't hurt to ask.

CPL (Join to see) It's your money but if I had to pay a $500.00 (or any amount) fee for a credit card I would find a new company. Just saying!

I agree - American Express has a benefit where they waive the fee for members of the military. It wouldn't be worth it for me to keep the card if I had to pay for it, but if you get it for free, they've got quite a few perks. Just trying to figure out if I qualify for it.
