Okay, I want to become a bonus whore. Most of the bonuses I see are for the first deposit. How do I use bonuses after I make my initial deposit?
Again, sorry for the noob question, but I would love to get some free money to play with here.

about once a month party will offer a 15-20% bonus for depositing money into your account. I put in 500 a couple weeks ago to clear a 100 dollar bonus. Should be another one in August.

You should look into rakeback vs bonuses- each has advantages.
Rakeback will give you a percentage of your rake back (pretty technical, huh?) So you get a monthly deposit in your account based on how much rake you paid for the month. This is ideal if you are a winning or break even player as you get $ even w/out depositing.
If you deposit more often (lose) you should look at poker rooms that always offer reload bonuses- typically the smaller or up and comming rooms.
Googl 'poker bonus' and 'rakeback' (seperately) and you will be able to find a ton of different programs at different sites.

I usually have 500$ of my bankroll on reserve in my bank account just so I can do the monthly deposit bonus on pp. I deposit, then after I get my bonus and party points, I cash it out.
And as far as I can tell, Party poker doesnt have a rakeback program.

none of the sites offer rakeback directly to you. They give it to someone for referring you as a new member. Lots of sites will give you between 20% and 30% (depending on site) if you sign up through them. Party definately does have rakeback available.
You can't sign up for rakeback at a site you are already at (unless you start 'new' user account)
The only one I can't find is PokerStars

REally? That sucks.... I wish I had known about that earlier. Could be making a lot of money back.....

you can always open an account as your brother, friend, wife, etc...
Google- 'Party Poker Rakeback' you will find a ton of offers
Or you could always play on a different site

The thing is, if you get caught with party poker rakeback you will get your account suspended, which is why no rakeback sites myself included offer party.
You can't get rakeback from stars because they do not offer revenue share, the only offer CPA, cost per acquisition.
Bonus v Rakeback is all good,
but I think it comes down to this. Small bankrolls bonus whore, healthier bankrolls rakeback.

Or play on sunpoker, get rakeback, a signup bonus, and monthly 100% reload bonus.
