I effectively did the same thing as you (in what is bolded):
1) signed up for MR (Wednesday)
2) Deposited (Wednesday)
3) Signed up for DL (Thursday).
Saturday got the ding e-mail for MR.
Of course, I also had a step '0' which was signing up for AA, opening the account and linking my banks, which was 2 weeks earlier.
I've 'only' been paid out AA and DL, and formally rejected on the MR.
Another thing to realize is that avoiding a MR ding doesn't seem to mean you'll hit the triple dip. I avoided the ding letter on the MR but don't seem to be getting my MRs. There don't seem to be too many other people in my same situation, though.
