That isn't a split infinitive. An example of a split infinitive would be 'to promptly notify', which people who worry about these things feel should be 'to notify promptly'. (The basis is that in Latin and Greek, the infinitive ('to notify') was a single word ('notificare'), not two, so if, like Victorian-era schoolteachers, you thought English should be modeled on Latin, you did the best you could and didn't split 'to notify' with another word.)

'Will be promptly notified' is just a complex verb form. There aren't afaik any rules about splitting this, even though in Latin this was also a single word, so logically if you worry about one you should worry about the other too.

Don't play with grammatical fire if you don't know what you're talking about.

Back on topic: partner awards seem to take longer to ticket. The QF J award I picked up two hours before the end of validity of the old award amount last week took four days to ticket.
