That's exactly what I want for now, max. signup bonus for a yearly fee.
I don't mind paying a fee, doing that anyways as of now.
I was favoring the AMEX AP Plat, think I will go for that........
Can you switch over to let's say the AMEX Gold after a couple month and keep the signup bonus for the AP Plat card?

Another question, for the CIBC VISA Infinite (which I plan to keep, since VISA is the most widely accepted), if I threaten to cancel the card, will they waive the yearly fee? Anybody have experience with this?
