Empire/Party Bonuses...Rakeback Issues...

[winker]

I heard that if you've already signed up for a Party Poker account, that you can't sign up for rakeback, because you have to signup for it when you create your account. Someone told me to open an empire account from another computer and then put in the code for rakeback/bonuses.

My question(s) is: do you have to open the new account from another computer? can you just open another Party account under a different name (friends) and fund it from the same bank account, from the same computer?

My problem is I don't have another computer to sign up from, but I suppose I could convince a friend to let me do it from his, but I'd rather not. Any help, oh wise 2+2 community? Also, are there any better ways of getting reload/rakeback bonuses that I'm missing, I wouldn't be surprised.
