does anyone have experience of doing this? I’m under 5/24 so I don’t expect issues on that front, but I’m a little worried about cancelling the card and then not getting approved for the WOH card.

It’s not the end of the world since I could use my CSR to pay and still get 3x, but it would be a shame to lose the free night cents for the relatively low AF as well as the discounted redemption promos that have been running recently.

I warned about this in the other thread. Should Chase decide for whatever reason to not approve your new card then you're SOL and IMHO it isn't worth the hassle. Up to you of course, I agree the offers for the new card are attractive enough to consider it.
