I've spent my $10,000 in the first few days...now how do i get out of fee?

I've read what feels like thousands of posts...

I didn't initially get this card to cancel immediately after earning the 100K bonus miles, but the situation seems to be presenting itself.

I had a big purchase coming up so I charged the $10,000 in the first few days upon receiving the card. My statement date isn't for another three weeks.

If I wanted to get out of the annual fee, should I just keep watching my AAdvantage account for the 100K miles, then cancel the card? Should I send them a payment for the balance first?

Would it be safe to apply for the Citi HHonors card in the meantime (I haven't applied for any other Citi cards in many years) and try to transfer some of the credit away from this card before I close it?

I don't have interest in "churning" this card again.

Thanks!

Brian
