I've been booking ahead for a couple of trips and come to find I can use a boost in a couple of hotel areas - both having Chase credit cards.
I currently have the IHG card. I've had it for well over 2 years, so that limitation is satisfied. I would like to obtain a new (highest possible, of course) signup bonus. If I close it, I read somewhere here (although I can't find the post via search) that folks have been able to get a new one relatively quickly. No 5/24 test.
This is my first priority.
I've also had the Hyatt card before (over 2 years ago) but closed mine awhile back. Want a new one for the signup points. This is a distant second priority, but could be important for travel in Jan 2019.
So, any recent experiences with close and reopen of the IHG card? How long should I wait after closing?
Assuming I get that in motion - how long should I wait for the Hyatt card? I can satisfy my Hyatt needs with a UR transfer, but would rather try for a new card. As long as it doesn't interfere with by priority one scheme for a new IHG card.
TIA.
