HELP => The basics of when to Cancel after points used?
Hi All,
I have been playing the points game for the past year. It has been rewarding.
I, along with everyone else, want to churn, re-apply, and benefit to the MAX
I now have some "Annual Fee Waived for 1st Year" cards maturing.
AMEX says they will transfer my Business Gold card acct. to a non Annual Fee Card.
I did a Walmart Discovery Card "$20 off $100 purchase" twice now (cancelled right away, and then reapplied a year, or so, later)
So, my questions are
When do you cancel a card, so you can re-apply again?
What are the "Rules of Thumb" on this topic?
!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE !!!
i do not browse this forum, so if my Q is common and boring... sorry

Yes. Your question is common. And boring. Thanks for admitting you want us to put in more work than you for your own question.

At $20 per sign up, I'd be wanting to hasten churn time as well.

Yea $20 a year for a walmart card sounds rewarding. What's even better is you got it again the second year
