1. I haven't signed up for AP yet. I actually place quite a bit of value on my regular amazon account, and don't want to risk losing it. Would it be smart/allowed for me to make a new account just for AP? **YES**

2. My understanding is that all of the following are frowned upon, or risky, or something. But I haven't been able to find any mention of them less than a couple months old, which as we know is an eternity in this game. Any thoughts on these options?
- A > B > A **Chancy**
- A > B > bank, B > A > bank **Chancy**
- Having the same bank account for the sender & receiver **Chancy**
- Having different accounts for sender & receiver, but both names being on both (joint) accounts **OK**

In the Jungle there are few hard and fast rules (as the internal controls in there are a bit whacky). Some are ignored by the Bezo tribe of headhunters (some people get away with murder) while some end up with their heads on a pole (as in permanently banned from Amazon).

Take it from an old jungle witch doctor, go for a chain (A>B>C>A) rather than play ping pong (A>B>A) with the wife.

In essence, can my wife & I send money both ways, and is it a problem if we use joint bank accounts to do so?

Sorry for the noobish questions. I'm going to go back further in the thread, and if I find answers to my own questions, I'll post them for others.
