As for me, I canceled my United card earlier this year in order to apply a couple of days later for the 50,000 mile offer for the same card - and was sort of surprised to actually get the 50,000 miles no problem. Part of the fun of churning is you never know what might happen.
Sounds like people are doing the same with the Starwood card for the current 30,000 point bonus so I may have to give it another shot. Nothing ventured, nothing gained...
