Sorry, I am sure you get these questions all the time. Just did my first PFS game at a con, I see the participation info on my account now.
The Advancement Point Boons points seem pretty self explanatory. I now have 101 points, the items I can purchase have a cost associated with it. I choose what character I have registered to apply what boons to which.
The other two, Conical Boons and Game Rewards, all have a purchase cost of 0. So what do I do with these?
Ex: Society Connections - one time Downtime benefit. - Downtime, but what do I do with it?
Ex: To Seal and Protect: A destroyed NPC will have consequences. - OK, is there a reason to buy?
Ex: Help low-level PCs at your table by increasing their Hit Points as part of a Level Bump. Must be Liked by Radiant Oath to obtain. - I'm not sure how I would even be liked by Radiant Oath.
There really are not very good instructions telling you want you are suppose to do with all of this. I have been using Pathbuilder to build out my characters, the character profile on this site seems very vague. When I go to a in person Society play, do I just print out a copy from Pathbuilder and present that with my PFS ID?
Thank you for the replies.

You can put your character sheet in your character's profile if you want to. This is often done by people who play pbp on this forum--here, I'll post this with one of my character profiles so you can see how I did it.
But you don't have to. You maintain your own character sheets in whatever format you like, and you don't have to post them on the site. There are rules about rebuilding them, but you're kind of on the honor system about it.
Chronicle boons come from the Chronicles you earn for playing. They used to print them on the Chronicles, but now they're usually on a separate document. Your Chronicle will tell you when you qualify and give you the name of the boon. You won't be able to "purchase" them unless you qualify, but once the game is reported you'll be able to.
Most adventures don't have them. If the middle part of your Chronicle just says you earned Achievement Points, then there isn't one. It'll say something like, "This adventure grants the following unique boon: [Title in Bold]."
Boons from game rewards list their requirements, and you'll be able to download them for a character who meets those requirements. A lot of them are related to factions and reputation--here's the reputation chart. Being "Liked" by a faction requires at least 20 reputation with that faction.
Mentor Boons are on that list. Once a character has 20 rep with a given faction, make sure to pick up the Mentor Boon they're eligible for (every faction has one). Those don't directly help you, but they're important for the lower-level characters who end up in a mostly-higher-level party for a session.
Also on that list: Every character is eligible for a boon that grants a free wayfinder once they've had two games reported.
You need to "buy" those boons to have them, but they don't cost anything. You can get them for free as long as you've met the requirements--and you won't be able to anyway if you haven't.
