I had no email but when I login and go to the buy points page it says:
Special offer: up to 50% Bonus*
Purchase points between March 30 and April 30, 2012 and earn up to 50% more points!
Buy 1,000 - 19,000 points: get a 20% Bonus
Buy 20,000 - 29,000 points: get a 30% Bonus
Buy 30,000 - 39,000 points: get a 40% Bonus
Buy 40,000 - 50,000 points: get a 50% Bonus
So it is probably open to all.

Why pay more?
I can also confirm your Maths.
My question is, is status worthwhile - is it worth paying the extra to have them count as status credits?
I only have 30,000 ( nonh status ) in my account so I am down with the lowliest of the low.

Depends on your travel plans. If you stay a lot in HIs, Platinum can be quite helpful to enjoy the stay a bit more ..

Platinum status gets the room upgrade possibility, so if you purchase 40000 points and the status applies to 40k + bonus 20k, you qualify?
Maybe I have this wrong?

My suggestion:
Since its 30 Apr, wait for Discover America deal coming out soon. If PC offers what they did last year, its 60K points for $360 USD if you pay via AMEX, and the points count for status, otherwise it's $400.
If its not offered, then you'll still have the option of the above method - 50% bonus
