We are about to start a home game of Daughters of Fury which my GM will be reporting for PFS credit. We've done some campaign mode games before, but they were all APs, not modules, and I've always applied the chronicle sheets to characters below the level of the adventure.
This time, I have a level 3 PFS character that I'd like to apply credit to, so she is in tier as this is a 3-6 module (although the chronicle sheets are 2-4, 3-5, 4-6). This poses a couple of questions I haven't been able to answer:
1) As per the Guide and the rules printed for the module, I receive credit as if playing a pregen, which I think would mean I would have to wait until she reaches 4th level to apply credit for the adventures? Most of my searching has turned up threads quoting Mike Brock circa 2012 saying it's actually applied like GM credit, but I wasn't sure if that still holds given he's not coordinator anymore and it's been almost 6 years.
2) The rules for campaign mode of the module describe "afterward receiving credit for playing the sanctioned portions of the adventure" - If I'm reading this correctly, then credit is not assigned as we complete each section (as it would be in an AP) but at the end of the module in its entirety. Is this the correct interpretation?

Credit for playing higher level pregenerated characters must be applied to a Roleplaying Guild character of a lower level than the pregenerated character or to a 1st-level character.
You may apply credit for an adventure once your Roleplaying Guild character reaches the level of the pregenerated character used to play through it.
Since pregen credit must be assigned to a real PC at least one level below the pregen, it would not be immediately applied in your case. Even though technically you could have a break between part 1 and 2 (or part 2 and 3) of the module, if you played and leveled the real PC, you would no longer be eligible to assign the chronicles for parts 2 or 3 to said character because it would no longer be "of lower level" than the pregen you played.
Typically speaking a clarification made by the CC/OPM in the forums is fairly reliable, but the Guide has seen numerous re-writes and updates since that post would have been made (by Mike) and may no longer apply. Unless there is a clarification somewhere (FAQ, CC doc) to the contrary, your course of action would be to play through the entire module, earn all the chronicle sheets, hold them until the real PC reaches 4th level (the level of the pregen) and then apply them all in the order assigned.
