So, if you want to churn these cards at all but keep the card benefits, close the Barclays and wait 24 months to reapply. 24 months after you opened the Citi, reapply again.

AFAIK, there's no way to look up when the 24 months is over, you have to track that yourself (I keep a spreadsheet for all that info). If you have statements going back that far, you can at least get an idea by seeing when you put spend on it the first time.
