I'm surprised no one has mentioned that after the fact, LC gave a bonus for September notes as well. It is bizarre since doing it after the fact did not motivate more investment. I have a theory, but I was not motivated enough to check it out. Did they only give the bonus for notes that reached an "issued" status before the end of the bonus period? Maybe they felt there was legal doubt if they didn't pay out money invested in notes that did not reach an issued status until after the original bonus period? I doubt they gave out the extra bonus just to be nice. The fact that no on has posted on this indicates it didn't buy much good will.
