I wouldn't be too concerned about the six week waiitng period any more. Now that the procedure has been outlined on Flyertalk, it will only be a matter of time before the bank addresses the issue. This reminds of the ChartOne gift card system that everyone advertised on Flyertalk and Fatwallet. It was only a matter of months before Charterone pulled the plug.

Dudemon-- do you cancel each card within six weeks and then apply for another so that you only have one United card at a time? Also why not just go through the link that has no annual fee for the first year on all these cards? Thanks so much for your help. Also thank you Happy for mentioning the T's and C's six month clause--that's what I was referring to--glad that it's not enforced.

gita, I believe you would not only have to have cancelled your current card but you would have had to do so at least 6 months prior to applying for the new one. There appears to be this waiting period before you can again receive miles with a new application for a card.
