" • Get 20,000 bonus points†† after your first eligible purchase--that's already enough points for at least
ONE FREE NIGHT**
• Spend $1,000 or more within the first 90 days of account opening and get an
additional 20,000 bonus points†† OR
• Spend $2,000 or more within the first 90 days of account opening and get
a total of 60,000 bonus points†"
T&C's say nothing preventin repeat signups, here's the link:

Just a small note that might help others.
1. I just applied for this card and was denied as I "can't hold two cards of the same product."
2. I actually closed the other Best Western card a few days ago...but
3. MBNA did not close it for me.
The agent informed me that the previous rep refunded a small amount to my bank then forgot to actually close the account.
*credit to her/them for just telling it like it is*
So, I effectively got thwarted in this application.
However, the credit department told me that I would have to wait at least 30 days to reapply anyways, as it "takes 30 days for the (first card) closure to show up on [my] credit report."
I don't know if this is the case, but this is what I was told.
NOTE: When I was able to finally close my original Best Western Rewards card today I was given a confirmation number of 7 digits. I now know to ask for one of these when I close an account in the future.
