any harm in cancelling after making that one purchase if you cant get AF waived? i currently have the arrival+ and recently had the M&M, any other good options? i dont fly much so JB isnt so helpful
Most likely not a problem as long as the points have posted but you never know. I also don't recall what barclay's refund policy is for AF.
Barclay cards are churnable remember.

in the past when i have tried, i think i recall it getting auto declined bc i just had it. and having to call up and argue why you need a card that you downgraded an hour ago is tough

So don't get an Arrival, do M&M and AA.

If you downgrade a card and then cancel,  do they see the original,  or do they only see  the canceled one so it's easier to reapply?

It used to be they only saw the new one, but I think it changed close to when the usairways card stopped being offered.

You just have to have the card, not use it.

Do the bonus points post only after closing of the first statement?

My FIL has this card, called to get AF waived or close account. They say even if he closes the account they wont refund the AF even though it is still within 30 days from when it billed. He even spoke to a supervisor. Is this normal?! HUCA?

HUCA even though it might be automatically refunded.
