Does credit card churning still work?

Some dedicated Qantas Points chasers will choose a card based on the bonus points offer, keep it for a while and then look for another sign-up offer. This strategy is known as credit card churning. You can potentially get lots of points doing this but it's getting harder to do and has some risks: Having multiple cards limits your chances of getting new ones approved. Too many applications in a short time can hurt your credit score. If you carry a balance on any card, you'll have to pay interest – not to mention all the annual fees. Many credit card companies limit bonus points offers to new customers only.
