Didn't get payment until today, and was about to pre-order some war-hawks a-la-carte, and noticed the "30 days free premium time" thing says "order before Feb 28th".
now... If I order them today... is it truly too late to get that premium thyme?

do those bonuses apply to mechs ordered a-la-carte anyway?

I don't think those bonuses apply to a-la-carte, but I could very easily be wrong.

I am curious about the order before bit though - as I was looking at ordering some of the packs myself this evening.

It says "Before February 28th" without a time. It's possible they meant 23:59 UTC today, like the ending times of the rest of the rewards. You'll have to contact Support, or simply make a purchase and see. You've got a little over three hours until 23:59 UTC.

And yes, you do get the Social Rewards, Monthly Rewards, and Loyalty Rewards (if you qualify), when purchasing a la carte. You just don't get the extras like Warhorns, badges, and such.

The official Twitter clarifies that you have to buy before the end of the day

Yep, I asked support the same question (thinking of grabbing my Summoner today) and it's all good on any Clan item you purchase today

If I had a job still I'd be buying in at least part way, then when more impressed with PGI's progress going a bit further.

You can buy an entry level package (if you plan on scaling the ladder) and then 'tack' on to it for each rung when possible. I actually did that with the Phoenix. Bought the Locust package. Then later on went up to Talon then Overlord.

come to think of it I did the same with the Founder's. Went Elite first, then upgraded to Legendary when I got a job.

I don't have a job - but I'm trading various work (cleaning out my sisters car - going to help her move come april or around there - and the like) for it.
