I'm looking to move some extra money from my Party account into another program and was wondering which sites offered the most lucrative and easiest to release deposit bonuses. Soft NL games and a good interface are plusses too. Any suggestions?

Pokerroom. 20% first deposit. Interface is good. I made some money over there but it is much smaller than Party.
Pokerstars is also giving 20% at the moment. I just got my ass handed to me over there this weekend.

Absolute Poker has the biggest bonus I know of - 35% through the end of July. I play mostly limit ring games there, but I have made some money at NL there. I wouldn't say it is particularly soft, but it is definitely beatable.
There are some things about it that I don't like, but the bonus is relatively easy to clear.
Here's a recent thread about my experiences there:

I really like Pokerroom.com as well.

It looks like Absolute Poker extended the 35% bonus, I checked today and it is still available. I saw one thread saying the bonus takes 30 days. However, the Terms & Conditions say the bonus goes out $10 at a time. Do we have any new reports on the play over there? 35% is a nice sized bonus but I guess one of the down sides is the limited number of players there.

The bonus is paid $10 at a time (per 100 raked hands). I've collected $150 of $210.
The games above about $1/$2 limit are not that great (i.e., not that fishy). I've made some money at $2/$4 and $3/$6, but gave some back at $5/$10.
There are usually 2-3 solid players (per PT) at any one table. The fish come and go, but they don't last long. There usually isn't more than 1-2 tables at any limit except in the lowest limits, which are too low to clear your bonus. There is a bit more action on the NL tables, particularly the $.10/$.25 blinds, but I don't play these tables at the moment.
They do have WSOP satellites, though, and you can enter relatively small $500 freeroll tourneys (~200 entrants) using "Absolute Points." Looks like they had some WSOP satellite qualifiers for Absolute Points as well.
Even though I'm clearing a bonus, I don't play that much there. Only about 2000 hands (1600 raked) and a couple of MTT's in several weeks. I have a little over 500 raked hands to go to clear my bonus.
They now have a refer-a-friend promotion, in which you can get $15 extra for being referred (and the referrer gets $25), but you have to do the referral before signing up and depositing.
I'd be glad to refer anyone interested. Just PM me.
