I would prefer this one over the Citi card because of the wifi credit, but I wonder if they will let me reapply a little after a year after closing the same product. I don't really care about the bonus. Anyone have experience with reapplying after a year?

It's going to be very YMMV on this. Barclays's terms are a bit vague with the "
You may not be eligible for this offer if you currently have or previously had an account with us in this program" but there are DPs that ~2 years was enough to get the bonus again. In my opinion, 6 months probably too soon and a year might be okay; however, there's no real way to know unless you apply and see what happens.
