Signing up for new credit card bonuses?
Post Body

I get a lot of credit card offers in the mail that give a substantial bonus after spending a certain amount of money within the first few months. Some of the offers are cash back or 50,000 miles after spending a nominal amount in the first 3 months which I could easily do.

Aside from my home, I have no debt, pay off all my credit cards every month, and I have a current credit score of 812.

Is there any downside to signing up for these cards, getting the bonus offer and then canceling the card?
