I'm assuming the 5,000 bonus PQMs count toward the next Special Dividend threshold, but can anyone confirm this from experience? I'm expecting to be just short of the 60,000 tier at the end of the year. I'll probably buy a membership if the bonus PQMs will earn me the ability to add my wife by the end of the year, but if the bonus PQMs don't count toward Special Dividends for whatever reason and that means the membership will just be for me, I might hold off.

Thanks in advance and apologies for reposting the question to be absolutely clear.
