Ryanair Mastercard Credit Card

in Credit cards
I fly frequently with Ryanair, and am considering applying for the MC Credit Card. I have a couple of questions:
- The website (http://www.ryanair.com/GE/?banner=276&gemid1=276) states that you can get "up to 5 bonus flights in your first year". What about after then? Does it fall back to being a 'normal' card, or do you earn 'up to 5' flights PER year? This is unclear. If it's the latter, would it look bad on my credit report if I applied, got the free flights, used them, and cancelled?
- I already have two credit cards (Barclaycard First, and Halifax Clarity). I would only be applying for this card for the free flights - if I do, should I cancel the Barclaycard BEFORE applying for this card?
- Is there a chance my existing credit limit will change upon applying for this card?
Thanks.

I can't say I've ever flown with Ryanair and paid more than what the various taxes and charges for that flight was - it's likely going to be a big waste with the "free" flights actually costing you more than it would to just buy it normally. Exactly the same with my Flybe card.0
