My local government ONLY accepts MC for driver license related payment.

Really would like to apply for the ink plus Visa at another time for additional 50k bonus.
Better close the existing Ink Plus. You can move the CL to some other Chase cards, no need to be an MC.

Same here but I plan to close it when AF will be billed on March 1st.

Some tidbits:
Chase bills AF on the 1st of the anniversary month even your anniversary date might fall on the last few days of the month. You always lose a few weeks of the first free year if your anniversary date falls towards the end of the month. Or, if the fee is not waived, you could see the AF billed BEFORE you even receive your card - happened to me once on the old CO card - I hadn't even seen the card up online, let alone receiving it - yet AF was billed on the 1st of the month, the same date the card was approved! Since then I try to only apply Chase card towards the end of first week of the month.
