Apologies for pulling this back a few posts. When you say the "original eplus date of 12/26", was that just as far out as you could search with your last e-plus retrade or what the expiry date for the deposit was showing?
E-plus extends the expiry of the deposit for 12 months past the original expiry date, even if you can't ever actually get that far with the 3 x eplus retrades.
When you call II to check, can you clarify the difference between the expiry of your deposit and how far out you can eplus retrade, and let us know?
My expectation (that I haven't tested) is that when you retrade, you will get the choice to add e-plus again, and the expiry of your deposit will go out +12 months from current expiry.
