Check the terms. I know one of the two companies made their offer a "once in a lifetime" offer to discourage the churners. I don't know if they have done away with that limitation at this point.
Here are the terms from the BMO site:
BMO AIR MILES World Elite Mastercard applications must be received between May 1, 2020 and October 31, 2021 (the “Offer Period”) to be eligible for the AIR MILES Bonus Miles and Annual Fee Refund offers (each an “Offer” and collectively the “Offers”). Bonus Offers are limited to new accounts. Existing BMO AIR MILES World Elite Mastercard customers who cancel their card during the Offer Period, and existing BMO Mastercard customers who transfer into this product during the Offer Period are not eligible for the Offers.
AIR MILES Bonus Miles Offer: Receive 2,000 Bonus Miles when you spend a minimum of $3,000 (less refunds and excluding cash advances, cash-like transactions, interest charges, fees, credit or debit adjustments) in net card purchases within the first three (3) months from the Credit Card open date. The Bonus Miles will be credited to the primary Credit Cardholder’s Collector Account within ninety (90) business days following the qualifying $3,000 spend. All Bonus Miles are credited in accordance with the set balance preference (between AIR MILES Cash and AIR MILES Dream balances) at the time of posting. The AIR MILES Bonus Miles Offer is subject to the AIR MILES Reward Program Terms and Conditions. Limit of one AIR MILES Bonus Miles Offer per Collector Number. If the Credit Card is cancelled within ninety (90) days from the date it was opened, all Miles earned within that period will be cancelled.
The underlined part above might be the only area that causes a glitch. I know with the LCBO and their bonus they know I signed up once and won't let me sign up using the same AM # again. I'm not sure how long BMO keeps this information in their database.
