Mileageplus Personal - > Move available credit limit to CSR, then cancel
British Airways - Move available credit limit to CSR, then Cancel
Slate -> Product Change to Freedom for the 5x categories
CSR -> keep
Mileage Plus Business -> Keep this card, has decent benefits
Southwest Card -> If you dont use the benefits transfer credit limit to MP Business and cancel.
Will you take a hit? Maybe but it should be too severe since your available credit should remain relatively constant. Then open the Ink Preffered Business. They might deny you initially but when you call in for reconsideration move credit from the mileage plus business card.
Thanks - I was thinking of something along the same lines. This should leave me in good position to apply for the next juicy Chase card to come along.
