I ask because I did get 2 of the identical citi hilon 50K free cards, 1.5K spend each within 6mo.

So after I get the bonus, do I just close them and apply again?

Let me know. Thanks!
You can get two of these cards every 65 days or so. You don't need to cancel the earlier ones to get new ones, but I wouldn't keep more than 2-4 open at a time. So basically, yes, you just apply again and close the other cards (before or after you apply for the next round).

Good luck and enjoy!
This is true, but the Maldives is a long way to go for only 4 nights, and it isn't as easy to earn Hyatt points otherwise. The UR points could be transferred to Hyatt, but they might be better used as airline miles. Still, the Park Hyatt Maldives is supposed to be a great property, so it wouldn't be a crazy use!
