When you report the event, include the PFS# for one of your characters who falls within the tier of the scenario you ran. You receive 50% of maximum gold, 1 PA, and 1 XP for that PC. A GM can only earn credit for a scenario if they have never played it before and only the first time they run it.
I believe the answer to the second question is no.
Thanks Yoda! If I already submitted the event, I assume I can go back and add my character?
You should be able to. You will also want to fill out a chronicle sheet for the relevant character with the same information. The online reporting is just for Paizo's reference. The chronicle sheet is what other GM's may want to inspect.
No, you can't play a cleric of no deity. This thread asked the same question and has Josh's reponse.

I believe you only get a reward if you ate a mod that you havn't played in and it's number is #29 or over, season one. I got this from chapter 12 of the Pathfinder Society: Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play. It is in the last part of chapter 12, called: Game Master Rewards.
You also don't get any credit for special bonuses bestowed by a chronicle sheet such as free magical treasure, boons , or bonus dice rolls in the future.

If you run a season 0 scenario that you have never played before, even if you have run it before, you get credit for eating that scenario. You can not get retroactive credit for eating a scenario before August 13, but if you run a scenario again after the start of season 1 that you previously ate, you can get credit for it then.
I'm not trying to be rude, where are you getting your information from? That is not what I read in the Pathfinder Society: Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play.Josh has said it in one of the many threads on this board... I think it's in the guide FAQ thread page 2 somewhere....
yup, here is an example of where he said it

Mark is correct.
Felt I might as well ask here since it's a thread about DM rewards... if I run a Tier 1-7 scenario for 4 Level 1 (Tier 1-2) characters, do I apply credit to my 3rd level character from the 1-2 tier, or the 3-4 tier?
(I've been under the assumption that it would be the 3-4 tier, but I'm not 100% certain)

I'm glad I'm wrong. I'll spread the word that you get rewards for eating a mod. I thought the players guide was stern on that, but I see differently now. Thanks for clearing things up, and yoda8myhead thanks for the wiki. I see you and others went to a lot of work to keep it updated, and I thank you all for the effort.
Conversely, if my main character is 5th level, but I run a 6-7 Tier adventure (because the party decides to play up; they were an average of level 5 also), do I NOT get to claim a GM chronicle sheet?
Your 5th level character is eligible to play in that scenario (it would have to be a tier 1-7 scenario to have the 6-7 subtier), so you could claim a chronicle sheet. You would also be eligible for the 8-9 subtier of a tier 5-9 scenario. 5th level characters have a lot of flexibility regarding tiers.
If you ran a tier 7-11 scenario for a group and all you had was a 5th level character, you would not be able to claim a chronicle sheet.
You would also be eligible for the 8-9 subtier of a tier 5-9 scenario.
Everything else you said was right. This is incorrect. A 5th level character can't generally play up to Tier 8-9, so your 5th level character only gets GM credit if you run the scenario at Tier 5-6. Giving the Tier 8-9 chronicle sheet to a level 5 character as a GM reward puts the max gold and treasure growth out of whack.
About that "puts the max gold and treasure growth out of whack."
We have had some lower level players (level 2 or 3) sit in at our level 5 sessions. I have yet to turn them away from the table if they sign up. Our APL (6,5,5,5,5,2 = 28 divided by 6 = 4.66 (or 5) PLUS 1 for a full party = Tier 6) lead to a 2nd level character having a HUGE amount of wealth. Is this wrong?
Incidentally, the 2nd level character did survive and participate; without magic weapons, he could not hit the BBEG, so he used Aid Another to help his party.

I don't think that the player should be turned away but the given situation isn't ideal. That player should be able to play without feeling like a sixth wheel, even if they are aiding another in fights. But if they put themselves in harm's way and risk death, I think they should get the rewards. They should try to get their PC up to speed with everyone else, though.

Hey Josh,
If that's the case, should this paragraph in the Guide refer to sub-tiers instead of tiers?
50% of the max gold for the tier appropriate to the GM’s character; for example, a level 1 GM character gets 50% of the Tier 1–2 gold (yes,
this means a GM who runs a scenario at higher level that his current character receives no extra credit for his character)
Does a GM with a 5th level character who runs a tier 5-9 adventure get sub-tier 5-6 rewards regardless of which sub-tier they run (or do they only get rewards if they run sub-tier 5-6)?
Does a GM with a 4th level character who runs a tier 1-5 adventure get sub-tier 4-5 rewards regardless of which sub-tier they run (or do they only get rewards when they run sub-tier 4-5)?
