Basically, the title asks it already.

If you spend $100 for the 9,600 Paragon Point deal, will you get 8 Reward Tokens?

I've heard people say such but wondering if anyone's confirmed this by buying that themselves.

it should only give you 6 tokens (unless you have another 5$ of purchases you've made which would bring you to 7)

you get 1 token for every 15$ you spend NOT for ever 1200 points you accrue.
You also get an extra token for every year of game time you purchase (in addition to the 1 token per month of game time.)

My understanding (and the wiki's) is it is every 1200 purchased points, including bonus points.

So 8 tokens sounds right (9 if first points purchase)

COMPLETELY WRONG and exactly backwards. You get 1 Reward Token per 1200 points purchased, NOT per amount of money spent.

The $100 package DOES give you 8 Rewards Tokens. I speak from personal experience. Furthermore, since it was my FIRST purchase of points, I got the extra bonus Token for a total of 9.

Note that's "per 1200 points purchased" (which includes the bonus points for buying in bulk), NOT "per 1200 points accrued." In other words, a VIP's account's monthly 400-point stipend doesn't count toward reward tokens. Though paying for that month of VIP does.

FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

Same.

Of course I have hardly spent any of the points yet, but they are there awaiting good sales in the store.

Not really needed, but to also confirm.

I spent my entire birthday budget on the $100.00 package. Also first purchase. 9600 points and 8 + 1 = 9 tokens received.

Nice to see one part of the new system working exactly as promised.

Now if my monthly token would just show up. On either account.

Correct. Basically a rough calculation of token value is 1 token = $15.00. Once they decided that they decided not to worry about complexities. By that I mean a monthly subscription is $15.00. If you buy multiple months the actual amount you spend per month goes down. but you still get 1 token per subscribed month. This by the way is why points awarded for being subscribed don't count towards your point total for a token. You got the token for those 400/550 points for the months subscription.

By the same token [joke] buying 1200 points costs $15.00. Spending more money at once gives bonus points. Again just like with decreasing subscription costs they didn't want to have to calculate all those differences so they just went with the rule of thumb that 1200 points = 1 token regardless of if you actually spent $15 for those points or not.

TLR - it's tied to 1200 points = 1 token. Bonus points aren't counted separate from regular points.
