If this helps you...
I closed my BA chase a year ago.
Reapplied to keep my miles active, got the 20k bonus
Did not know about 30k bonus, well...

I have always followed a policy of one year on one year off for all my cards until recently and almost never have I been turned down until this year.

I go BA / UA alternate years with Chase
Visa and MC alternate years with Citi; now it is VISA/MC/Amex every 6 months. Jan Visa on, July MC On, next Jan Amex on, close Visa by Feb to avoid fees, reapply in July for Visa and so on.
BofA used to give me US miles alternating with Alaska.

Simple rule
close account in 1 year immediately after getting the annual fee.
It always get refunded if closed within 30 days of being charged.
