Single $200. I'm going to try breaking it up on the repeat. This is in on my wife's account. My own is on UA and never had any probs with doing the $200 in one go for UA.
Tried again with 2x$50; posted as before, but was credited back 3 days later. Will be trying again for the other $100 soon.
Update - did the other $100 as 2x$50, credited back after 4 days.
Based on this I'll be switching my own from UA to AS in January - the mywallet trick makes it so easy to use these on AS.
