I have closed probably a hundred or more card accounts over the years and never had any problem at all. I do usually wait for more than six months, though.
I suspect OP is okay.
I had Chase taken back my UA bonus several months after I closed the card. It happened on another FTer too. In fact, it was his email to alert me on what happened to him then I checked my UA account - it happened to me as well. Chase sent a letter to inform us what it did, in no vague term.
This was a couple years ago.
However I believe OP is fine here as his is a "cancellation with reason".
