I don't know if that will work or not for a one time deal. It is a horrible idea and get it out of your head. This hobby should be a marathon, not a sprint for all of us. The banks have long term memories, and these days none more so than Chase. There are only a few banks that fund our points and miles accounts. No need to burn a bridge with any of them, and what you are inquiring about is doing just that.
