Token/Point Clarification

I just want to be absolutely sure that I have this right before I decide to spend any money. I want to acquire 7 reward tokens. Is it correct that I get a reward token for my first purchase, plus a reward token for every 1,200 points, and do the bonus points count towards the 1,200?

So if I bought the $100 bundle, I would get 8 tokens plus the first purchase token? Or if I split it up and bought one $50 and two $15 for a total of 7,240 points (which includes the bonuses), that should equal 6 tokens? Does it count your previous purchases or only each individual one?

I'd be nice if I could just put everything I want in the cart and it'd tell me everything I'd be getting. d:

Yes.

Yes, cumulatively.

Nope. Only points you pay for count towards the "1,200". Mine you, each time you get bonus points (1/month) you should be getting a reward token anyways from being subscribed (and, once they fix it, you should be getting all those tokens when your subscription renews). Plus, 1/year subscribed (I'm not sure if that's that's supposed to be rewarded in advanced or on the actual day).

It goes by a running total, meaning you will get your reward tokens if you buy 400 points ($5 worth) a bajillion times over.

It'd be nice if we could know we if we already bought something before we try to buy it a second time I'm sure they'll get around to making this patently obvious in the market eventually, but right now it's still got quite a lot of ground for them to cover.

(I skipped the parts about $100 \ $50 + 2($15) and how many tokens you'd get because I'm too lazy to fire up the game to check the numbers... plus, I'm supposed to be writing some code... there's only so far before 'slacking' becomes 'not even trying' )

Everyone I know who has spent $100 has gotten 9 tokens for it. 8 for 9600/12, 1 for first time buying points.

True but 1600 of those points is under the "bonus" column which might lead to the confusion.

I think you read bonus as the monthly points and seebs read it as the bonus column, which the OP meant I'm not sure. I read it as the bonus column as well but I could be mistaken.
