I heard that. But since I'm going back to an Avion card, having done nothing with my points when I was a no annual fee customer, I should be good to go. If not I'll be really p1ssed because all of my points have been earned while it I had the Avion card.

I think all of that is possible. it's only one phone call away. I don't think they care if you're trying to maximize sign-up bonuses. I'd wait 3 months in between attempts...at least that's what worked for me. And I don't think you should expect First Year Free, certainly not for the BA or the Privilege cards. But hey, if you look at the fee as paying for points that otherwise cost more...then you should be ok with that.
