Anyway ... I hope that what you're saying is in fact true as I'd love to get another 75K from the business card. It's been 3 months since I got it, so I'll cancel it today and hope that 3 months from now the offer will still be alive.

thanks for the help.

No need to wait 90 days after cancelling, the 90 days is time lime between biz apps. fully cancel, wait a few days for account to clear out of system, apply again (preferably with a different EIN, but not necessary).

Since jcmitcell21 is too modest himself to mention this fact, I'll trumpet this for him: although the thread is over a year old, he regularly edits post #2 (as seen in the current version of the post in this language: "Last edited by jcmitchell21; Yesterday at 8:18 am.. Reason: Added info on applying for 2 Visas.") so that the information in that post, a summary of all of the useful information in the entire thread, remains current. The suggestion to "read post #2 first" is one that I still follow every time I read that thread.

Modesty and a willingness to do a little work are two virtues appreciated everywhere, but especially at FT.
