Ah, the beauties of card churning in the current economic environment. Probably not the best advice one could give

Cheers.
I suppose it really depends on how good the OP's credit is, wouldn't you agree? If the OP is worried about ending up without any AA-earning credit card, I suppose he could wait a week from the time he applies for a second card, before making the decision to cancel the first one. Citi AAdvantage cards applied for online tend to arrive about a week later, if the application is approved.
