Time will tell. Im thinking it will, as previous attempts to churn other chase cards (less than two years, new FFN/info) got rejections by their system for having received the bonus and no hard pull.

Please report back if the bonus posts.

How long before the statement closed did you hit the spend threshold?

There's your answer. Many reports that hitting bonus too close to statement won't get you the bonus until the following statement closes. Do you see any mention of the bonus points on your statement?

I wanna get ba card again before 5/24 (supposedly) hits in april. Closed card year ago and last got card about April 2014. Bonus prob hit in late may or June. Are there reports of getting the bonus again within the 24 months time line albeit closer to the actual 2 year mark? Or is it just better to make a new ffn?

Question is if spend can be done and bonus miles post before it's too late to get AF back.

It should be. Worst case, cancel and get it back prorated.

Do you have 120 days from when the AF posts, to do that?
