Is This an Abuse of the Long Distance Programs

Okay, This may sound bad, but should or could it be done?

Sign up for MCI, cancel and sign up for Sprint after the first sign up bonus miles post. Then cancel sprint and go back to MCI for the initial sign up bonus again and repeat.

The reason I ask this is that MCI give a large sign up bonus but only 1k a month after that. (Which I know from experience doesn't always post) So by utilizing the above strategy you could effectively get 3k miles from MCI per month.

Thoughts?
