You certainly haven't read enough of this thread. Yes, they say W and WE are the same, but we're taking advantage of a loophole that they don't know about. What do you want them to confirm? "W and WE are not the same, you can churn?"
There are still people who have success with this loophole, so we're still trying to figure out. Closing the W card now means you reset the 18-month clock. You should have waited for the conversion, that doesn't reset the clock, then you might have chance to get bonus in a few months.
