The down side might be the line up at the check in counter.....when I was traveling Y on an Aeroplan ticket, I wasted over 30 minutes in line for my "free" checked bag. I'm sure if I had been flying J it wouldn't have been so bad. Once I reached the counter, though, things were swift and worked as they should.

I'm sure timing had a lot to do with it......spring break. I'm sure it won't happen all the time, but it's something to keep in mind.

Also depends on how many you have. If it's just the one then you're fine to apply for a second.
The other thing, is when you cancel make sure you call in and have the balance on the cancelled card added to one you're keeping. Can be used later if you're re-applying.

For the current (ongoing) promos, expiring on May 27th...yes, but the FYF is only offered if you apply through affiliates. I'd suggest RFD or GCR, which will give you $70 and $50 cash back, respectively. If you apply directly while browsing at the TD website, or in branch, you will NOT get the FYF (unless you open an AI account) and you will be required to spend $1000 to earn that extra 10K after 90 days of keeping the card open.
It's mentioned at the TD thread.

Was planning to tell a friend to sign up for the MBNA SmartCash, as I had good experience with it, and it's among one of the best AF cards out there earning cashback. It will also be her first card with no prior credit history, and MBNA tends to be lenient.
But apparently it's gone from both GCR and RFD Cashback does not seem to list it either. Anyone know if there's anything else there?

So I'd suggest cancelling first!
He had quite a lengthy digression on the topic so IMO they have been told to watch for this. He also said the computer now autoflags second applications for the same product. And I haven't even churned this hard, this is my app number 3 ever.
