Can I cancel my previously approved (just a couple months ago) Amex card now that my 40k points are in, and then reapply for same card to get the 60k points or will that be too obvious of a churn and I'll be blacklisted?

Advanced thanks.
Don't think canceling will work. If I recall correctly, if you got the card within the past 90 days, then they should "good will" you the additional points to match the current promo. Call AmEx back and insist on speaking with a supervisor; shouldn't be a problem.

Keep us posted on progress, and good luck.
