I’m willing to pay the annual fee if I must to get the bonus, but I’d rather cancel the card and not pay the AF.
Is it safe for me to cancel the old card now before I complete the minimum spend? Can I still lose the bonus at this point because of the 24 month rule?
Yes, you can close it. As noted in the welcome letter, the bonus is already associated with the card.
