I like to cycle through every 6 months. So every 6 months I cancel one card and pick up the other with no annual fee/bonus points.

Is this a good deal?
Do they ever waive the first year $120 Fee?
I might want to try it, but paying for 2 premium cards at the same time (AMEX is not accepted everywhere) seems too much.
Annual fee has been waived in December. Don't know if they're going to do it for the 20k bonus. What is your second premium card?
The link in my signature offers 21,000k points with $1,000 spend.
