Based on everything I've read, I believe that Vet Rewards ended as of July 1st. Since then, if you've stayed subscribed, you get 400 points for every calendar month where you had at least 1 day subscribed. So you've got 400 points for July, August and September each. You don't get 3.5 months worth of points since July 1st. It's 400 points for each calendar month if you've got a sub at any time in the month. I'm sure someone that knows more about this stuff will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's how it works.
I'm getting this info from a post by a redname back in June. The post is in the forums here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?p=3707619

You might be correct, but if any 3 month badges have been awarded since July then that only leaves people who are expecting them just after Sept 13th. Anyone confirm they have gotten a 3 month badge since july?

once i21 is live the old vet reward system will be discontinued, so badges will not be awarded like they have been instead they will be earned through the new paragon rewards system, each time you get a token and claim something you get a related badge and a reward
all of the old vet badges graphics have been changed to remove the numbering system and just have a star since they wont be earned at any specific time come i21

Or does it still get awarded? (Either early or on Normal Date)
I can't see the DEVS saying too bad, reward was meant to be issued until the 14th suck it up...but until I see it in print that's my fear.
I can only speculate too, but it seems to me that either the new system or the old system will be in place during the VIP headstart. I'd guess the new system, as they'd have to process everyone's information to get Freedom working properly to begin with. So if you were due to become a three month veteran under the old system on the 14th, then you wouldn't receive that due to the old system having been retired already...but it would still be your billing date, which would earn you a token under the new system.
That's just my speculation.

But everytime you spend 15 dollars toward points you get a reward token. Essentially, you could buy like 400 dollars worth of points and go from Tier 0 to Tier 9 instantly.
The other thing is once you reach Tier 9 I personally don't see the repeatable token benefits being that great.
Nm I stand corrected on the Tier 9 rewards... I didn't realize they were changed:
Each time a reward token is placed in this slot it grants the following account item certificates: 25 certificates redeemable for one piece of Enhancement Booster salvage
Does this mean you get 25 enhancement boosters?

Paragon Reward Tokens are granted for various reasons, and used on the Paragon Rewards Program, the extension of the old Veteran Rewards Program.
Let's all clean up our terminology so we don't confuse each other and newbies.

The Tier 9 VIP items also change out quarterly, so, if you never buy any PP (thus all your reward tokens are from time subscribed), you'll get a new set of VIP tier slots each time you complete the three (assuming it stays at 3 / quarter). The repeatables are only really nice if you've got extra tokens to spare (such as from buying PPs, or having been subscribed for an extremely long time already)/don't care about one of the Tier 9 VIP items.
Some of the other Tier 9 items aren't bad, either. Not amazing, but certainly not bad.
---
I think the real question the OP is asking is, since for subscriptions you get your reward tokens at the start, when you pay for the subscription... how's it going to work in this transitional time? Say today I just bought a 12 month subscription... do I not get any reward tokens, since Vet Rewards are based on time played? Or, if I bought the 12 month subscription back before June, do I get jipped (if they transitioned behind the scenes in June)?
(I'm atm on a 1 month subscription, and coming up for a renewal right after Freedom goes live, so this won't really impact me
)

What happens to the Token you were to get right near the release date?
Let me Illustrate, I am an 84 month Veteran with my next badge being awarded on the 20th of September. When the patch goes live on September 13th, it will calculate the amount of tokens you have and award that many tokens with a yearly badge giving two tokens.
What he is concerned about is that lets say his "39th Month Badge" was going to be awarded on the 15th of September. Since the patch goes live on the 13th, it will give him tokens only for 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36. However, had it been two more days he'd be receiving an extra token.
This becomes more of a problem for people that were going to be awarded a yearly badge because those give two tokens.

My guess is that we'll get a token for a partial month (and whatever full months you have left). I think this was alluded to in an answer on a previous Freedom Friday when it was said that the $2 account would have 3 tokens: one free, one for the box and one for the month. That would only work if the 3rd token is awarded when Freedom launches. In that case someone with 2 days left would still get a token, but it will be for their first month on Freedom instead of for the 3 months.
It would still be nice to get official confirmation on this.

This is what I am hoping. In my case it would mean a yearly (2 token). I'm sure I will get 1 for the year, 1 for the sub renew..but since that applies for the 30 days following, not the 90 behind, I should still be entitles to the extra token. Since it is only a matter of a couple days in my case.

I haven't seen this answered anywhere, except for people speculating on how this will be/wont be addressed.
For those with rewards coming up after September 13th, does the reward of a Paragon Point still get awarded? Do we get the reward on our sub date? Do we get it if the reward date falls with x # days immediately?
Maybe someone who is in the know (community red names) can clarify this as I see this question being asked in numerous threads.
