You are making stuff up?
Why would anyone make this up? For fun?
Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it's not possible. It hasn't happened to me either, but it has for one of my friends, when he cancelled and reapplied too soon. I know I've read of other churners who also posted their datapoints as well, with encountering a re-activated recently-cancelled card account.
Though it seldom happens, why not keep an open mind about the possibility, rather than comment cynically on people's otherwise well-intended advice?
