For several years, we maintained two CPs. With the 24 month rule and the only-one-personal-card rule, that changed. But now, thanks to some early year work travel and strategic use of Rocketmiles, we should be able to get two CPs again. Problem is we both have existing SW cards. We can close them and pay off balances today. We haven't gotten a bonus in 24 months and are under 5/24.

But what's the official line or recent experiences on time between closing an existing SW card and reapplying for a new one? Today, tomorrow, 30 days?

Also, can we double up and refer each other for bonus points and also each get the signup bonus?

Thanks.

UPDATE: Closed account on 2/11. Applied for new SW Priority card on 2/18. Approved and confirmed bonus would apply once minimum spend was met. So just 7 days...
