Thanks Aces. I checked what paperwork I have, and I see the bit about having to keep the account open for 6 months. But I don't see anything about the 5 signed transactions per month after the initial bonus period--would be great if what you said applies. I'll dig deeper. Are you sure this isn't for the Business version rather than the personal?
