The more likely scenario for free landing at a high use airport is to go in
when nothing is going on. Like 1am. If you ask nicely for the clearance and
sound somewhat professional, chances are, they won't bother to fill out the
paperwork.

Don't know about DEN, but at IAD and DCA you don't owe any landing fee
unless you leave the movement area. Frankly, at IAD I can tell you
that it's even looser than that. The operators collect the fee. For
a while when I was based there, I neglected to tell the FBO that I had
come and gone. I assumed I'd just get the landing fees on my montly
bill with the parking and fuel charges. Turns out that since I didn't
go up and told them I had flown, they didn't have any record of it.
