I will now apply for an offer only if there is something special. 25K/card isn't.
Oh, I dunno.
I recently took advantage of the SPG offer. I had an SPG card, cancelled it, and applied next day for another and got it. Same with wife's card.
Not as good as it used to be, but on the other hand, the bonuses weren't as big back then either. My first bonus was 10K with BA - earlier this year I did three of them for a total of 300K, and they weren't my first Chase/BA cards either.
Yeah, it can't go on forever, but then neither can I. Do it while you can!
