BarclayarclayCard for about 6 months now.card - swtching from AA to JetBlue

Hello all - I've had the American Airlines BarclayCard for about 6 months now. A big fat sign up bonus motivated me to get the card but I now find myself not using the card. I have the Citi AA card which I greatly prefer. Anyway, I was wondering if it would be possible to switch over to the JetBlue card and get the sign up bonus?

Anyone tried?

As a matter of regulatory compliance no issuer will let a customer change products in the first 12 months. This is because the Federal C.A.R.D. Act prohibits the issuer changing the product terms during the first year, and the banks have conservatively decided that the safest way to comply is to simply make no changes in the first year.

Generally, doing a PC from one card to another will not trigger a bonus. Just keep your current cards and apply for the JetBlue card. Then at the 11 month mark cancel the AA Barclay card to avoid the AF.
