Yup, I have a bump up of ACP as well, I suspect that it is widespread. Given that my number seems about 40 ACP higher, I am wondering... is this the ACP bump that was advocated for in an earlier discussion?

Alex Speidel confirmed in the PaizoCon panel that everybody gets 80 AcP when they register for Organized play!
I think this is super nice, and double the amount I would have guessed a "new player AcP grant" would be, giving players the ability to purchase an uncommon ancestry as soon as they start playing.
That being said: character deaths, although rare, do happen at times, and it would be adviseable to not purchase a costly AcP ancestry boon until you have enough AcP saved up to afford a resurrection boon as well.

No, it is retroactive as well (so everybody should have gotten it). I think the AcP was granted at some point today or yesterday, and my AcP totals certainly reflect that.
Not sure if it's tied to registering the account, or actually having played (and had a game reported) at least one scenario.

My hope is that this will be updated soon, with a list of what ancestries anyone can get for 80 ACP.
I have also been compiling and republishing what I can here: Boons on the Unofficial OPF Guides Website in searchable and structured format that doesn’t require login to the Paizo site. I include the text from the FaQ page where possible, so it's all in one place.
The complete list of Ancestry boons with cost is right here. All Heritage Boons are listed as well, etc.

Well, there are still no bonus points for me, for either PFS or SFS. In another thread, I mentioned this and the fact a bunch of my PFS1e tables disappeared. Alex said it was a known bug and he’d be looking into with the tech team.
I don’t know if that latter issue is related to my not getting the extra ACPs or if the two issues are unrelated.

I bought the Knights of Lastwall Boons as they are missing from the FAQ page, and added them to the page here:

I did my best to add up my points (a difficult task, by the way) and I find that I actually have 80 ACP LESS than expected. Is it possible points were deducted instead of added? Anyone else notice this?
I haven't heard any other reports of - ACP, but given all the other bugs it definitely seems possible.

I talked to a con organizer this weekend who said that they had negative ACPs after this.

2-3 christmas's ago, my employer accidentally hit the "subtract" button instead of the "add" button, deducting from hundreds of linked bank accounts the amount they were supposed to pay as income - a whole wave of people thought their employment was stealth-terminated over the holidays!
So, seems possible.

You should double check your calculations.
AcP costs for things have changed over time. I don't know whether things that got cheaper were refunded; I also don't know whether things that got cheaper were supposed to be refunded.
But the discrepancy between "you think you should have been refunded" and "you were not refunded" could be an explanation.
I'm trying to figure out how many points I should have, because I don't think I received the bonus for the PFS, though I did receive it for SFS. I played in 7 games online during PaizoCon.

Normally, a PFS Adventure grants 1 AcP per XP, and depending on the Event you earn them at, there is a multiplier. Your local Game Store will usually have a multiplier of x1.25, and a Premium Convention like PaizoCon will have a multiplier of x1.5.
Assuming your 7 adventures normally granted 4 AcP each, for a total of 28 AcP normally, you should have earned 42 instead, due to the multiplier.
Add in the bonus 80, and you should have 122 total.

Is it the case that not all accounts have gotten the bonus ACPs yet? I still don’t have them.
Paizo Blog: July 2022 Organized Play Update
Hi all! As I'm sure you're aware, we've had some issues with AcP and GM credit not being awarded properly lately. I am delighted to announce that these issues are 95% fixed at this time! Any future sessions reported should grant AcP and GM credit correctly, and any new OP IDs generated should include the 80 AcP starting grant for both Pathfinder and Starfinder Society.
As for the 5%, well. There are some people who didn't get the 80 AcP for mysterious reasons and will need to be kicked manually, which I now have the power to do! If you fall into this category, first try refreshing your points once more using the button on the GM/event coordinator tab. Assuming that doesn't work, please email orgplayreportingerrors[at]paizo[dot]com with the affected OP ID and I will manually kick them into behaving. Some people have also had issues with sessions awarding erroneous PFS1 GM credit; this can be solved in the same manner.
I encourage anybody with issues to email in; the fix is literally two button clicks and I would hate for people to neglect emailing me just to avoid being a bother. I want to fix these problems, please let me!
Thanks for your patience on this issue. I'll be working with tech going forward to ensure that issues like this don't go unresolved for weeks at a time. If you have any questions or other issues, don't hesitate to reach out at the above email!
