business cards can be close to annual if you time it just right:
For a time (no one knows when this "loopholee" will end), Citi AA Plat MC can be every few months
if they keep upgrading your World MC -> World MC Elite
and if you haven't cancelled a Citi AA Plat World MC in the past 18 months:
Alaska can safely be several times a year
if you also earn Alaska miles some other ways (but Alaska itself may shut down accounts if you do nothing but sign up for cards and then cancel and then repeat, so beware using "theoretical" limits of how much it can be churned!):
I'm surprised by what you're saying about Alaska Airlines. If I may ask, What's the source or data points for Alaska Airlines being able to shut down CC accounts? I've never heard of an airline doing this. As far as I've known, it's always been the CC issuer or banking side.
