Step 5a is absolutely essential to check that your save worked. The confirmation message you get after doing a cloud save is flawed. It say last saved "Just Now" if it gets a valid response from the server but sometimes the server rejects the save (usually, but not always, because the progress in the save is less than the last save). If you don't do step 5a then you don't know if your save has been stored. I have never heard of a successful save not restoring all the gold balance that was saved and I'd be very surprised if this happened.

However, if you don't want to take this advice then feel free to ignore it.
