 Even if you want to make the no-annual-fee version part of your core credit card collection, you should initially sign up for the higher-end card, collect the better signup bonus, and then downgrade at the end of the year.

 <li>'''If you cancel your card, you may not be able to easily get it back'''. Bank of America limits your ability to get more than 4 cards every 24 months and 3 cards every 12 months. And you can't get one of their cards if you've gotten more than 3 personal credit cards from any bank in the last 12 months (7 cards for BOA banking customers). If you are signing up for bunch of new credit cards, you won't be able to get new Bank of America cards.</li>
 <li>'''If you decide to cancel, you may want to change to the Cash Rewards Card instead'''. The Cash Rewards Card earns a base rate of 3% on your choice of categories, including online shopping. With Platinum Honors status, the reward rate is boosted to 5.25%. Since bonus rewards are capped for each quarter, it can be helpful to have multiple copies of the card. But the only way to currently get multiple copies is to convert from other Bank of America cards.</li>
