I know MBNA has started limited one AS credit card per person, but is that the case with their Best Western card? Or can you hold more than one?

You can still hold more than one.

Lifetime? or concurrently? I'm looking to cancel my existing AS MBNA and am looking to re-apply for another in the fall.

Also if I haven't used my companion fare, would there be a chance to reclaim some of the Annual fee since I didn't redeem that benefit?

I applied the card 3 month ago and just got the card today (due to branch rep delay), I remember when I apply it was 20K points+10k for keep 3 mon something like that, but I don't have screenshot to prove, now the offer I saw was 20K points for first use only

I'm going out on a limb and saying "not a chance". Did you also get the card via Great Canadian rebates?

Haven't done SPG referral in a while. Probably this fall. Will let you know, but probably on the Amex thread.

Yup, I didn't think it was a possibility, can't hurt to ask though

I am being told by a rep at MBNA that such promo never existed
I have a URL and screenshot but no way to provide the rep over the phone
Comment deleted...incorrect info.

FWIW, a number of people over on RFD are reporting receiving the full 60k.

http://forums.redflagdeals.com/best-...ee-1978927/34/

I've only received the intial 20k, at this point, but the 3 months are not up yet for me.

A suggestion was made to call BW Rewards, but I didn't see any follow up posts as to whether this was successful.
I called BW and they said the points would come in the statement after the check - so I'm assuming if you don't get it by your 4th statement, call in again. They were definitely aware of the promo and said my account was in order and I'd receive them though, so I'm just playing the waiting game still.

You're slightly late to the party. That started two days ago (or yesterday from the time of your post).
