US Airways CC & AA Credit Card Question

I got in the mail yesterday that in 2015 my US airway CC will become an AA credit Card. If I have a US Airways CC and it converts to AA can I still apply to AA credit card in the future? or no because I already have one?

Canceling Barclay US Airways

I have Barclay US airways for about 4 months now. I got an email that they are moving to a new card and will mail me a new one in April. I am thinking of cancel my old US airways card so that I am not automatically enrolled in the new card. My thinking is, in case the new card has a nice bonus too, I can apply for the new card later on in the future (but it'll be a long time before I decide to do that) as a new customer.

My questions are, if I cancel my current US airways card:

1. Will I lose my bonus that I received? I have not used it yet. I am waiting to merge with AA.
2. Will I also lose the companion ticket? I have not used that either.

Thanks

I am thinking the same thing. If I stay on board my current Barclays MC card will roll-over to the Barclays AAdvantage Aviator Red Card.

If I cancel it now, will I be able to apply (and get a sign-up bonus) for opening up a new Citi AAdvantage MasterCard?

Still no one can provide me answers to my questions about the bonus and the companion ticket.

1. Will I lose my bonus that I received? I have not used it yet. I am waiting to merge with AA.
2. Will I also lose the companion ticket? I have not used that either.

If you haven't booked the companion tickets yet you won't be able to do so if you cancel the USAIR card. If you have booked the tickets you SHOULD be ok but you will not get free bags for the everyone booked in that reservation............up to 4 people I believe

The miles are safe

I also had a small query and I am sorry if this has been answered somewhere else.. I have an Barclays US Air card, and I am wondering, once the accounts get merged, will I still get the 10k bonus on my US Air card, once I have completed one year..

Husband received letter from Barclays at end of March that US Airways dividend miles MasterCard account anniversary is coming up (end of April) for annual fee renewal.

My question is since this card is now becoming AA Aviator is there an annual fee attached to it?
He also has the Citi AA card so we don't want to have both.
