Especially if their Freedom is higher APR than their CSP. Lol.

Got my bonus on 1/10/2013, it has been 26 month, 30K annual spending. should I cancel the card today and reapply tomorrow?

You could try and it might work, but even a slow analyst on a bad day, on review, might conclude that this happens to look a little like churning!     It's also possible that they would reopen the closed card and not give a bonus.

 

I would suggest at least a little time between opening and apping.  (You closed it then realized how much you missed it)


thank you for the advice. just got approved Citi thankyou premier last month, want give it a try, see if it fits me better, as it give 3X typ for more categroy
