For Citibank, I think going for the Rewards card is better if for churning purpose.
Fubon welcome T&C is here http://www.fubonbank.com.hk/web/html...lcome00_e.html

Is this the Visa Infinite card? It comes with free Priority Pass, so it may be worth keeping. Also, I believe you get bonus 360 reward points based on your mortgage amount if you use the card once a month...IIRC

It seems like it would be wise to proactively close cards that are rarely used. But would still need to wait 12 months (after cancellation) to re-apply for any welcome offers.
Is there any exception to this or do most cards have this in the T&Cs?

You can't get around redemption fees tho. Bankcomm is $100 every five years. Fubon is $250 every year (because points expire every year with one month's grace for orphans).

If overseas, your end earn rate is the same ($1.5/mile, or 8 points per $1 spent).
But because the "basic earn rate" is 3 points per $1 spent overseas, your upper limit is increased from 240,000/(8-1.5)=$36,923 to 240,000/(8-3)=$48,000
