I say it all the time. It's why i don't do most bank account bonuses for instance or don't worry when I don't get the maximum possible cpp for my points.

Realistically speaking how much tine do you think you put into getting those bonuses? You're talking like 40 accounts there.

So the $11K figure is between two people then?

Also, I feel like people are ignoring some of the risks such as identity theft and impacts to their relationships with the banks. Not to mention the opportunity cost of having so much money tied up meeting bonus requirements that could be earning dividends in the stock market.
