Or possibly know a good combo of bonuses I can do?

Another thing to consider (I don't know if this works!) is depositing money to your credit card = you're not reaching your credit card limit by making a bigger transaction = ask your bank if this works.
I'm not sure if Canadians can use Neteller (New Zealanders can) or Moneybookers - find out, and make sure to have it set up in $US.

Given the size of your roll I think you should go with Full Tilt first - $600 sign up bonus + Rakeback. Make sure that you create your FT account via a rakeback affiliate! I think you should clear one bonus at a time, and start figuring out the "where next?" when you are nearing the end of the current bonus-grind. Start a new thread here each time, and list the sites you have already hit as well as the stakes that you play.

If so, you could simply pony up the cash to buy the micro HEM. Typically, getting HEM for free involves sacrificing Rakeback and/or first deposit bonuses - you're probably better off getting the cash as RB/bonus and using it to buy the software. You could also use some of your Party points to buy PT3 I think? seems that both software sets are rated pretty highly these days

With a $1.4K roll and playing 25NL, you have plenty of options. I assume you play cash games? How many hands per month do you play on average?
