So you walk away with 4850 PQP!

They probably knew this, but there likely wasn't time to fine-tune some of these minor details.
One complicating factor is that they'll wait until Nov 30 to see if you met the promo spend to determine if you're eligible for the bonus PQP. They promise to give it to you by Dec 21, but I foresee problems with people not knowing how many PQP's they really have.
