Previous to mid-2021 or so you absolutely only got TQP's for 2x the cost of the ride itself (the "Travel Base Earn") and nothing else. You can actually search your transactions and see it for yourself. I did not often go BC or Acela back then because prices were higher but I can see zero TQP's for my tier multiplier or "Select Plus Point Bonus" as it used to be called.
