Megaupload premium membership and payment?

In the TOS, it says you need to have a Megaupload premium account to earn megaupload rewards.
But I am confused with something.
Say I pay for a Premium account for 3 months, and I rack up 500,000 points to redeem for the Lifetime Premium.
After that, since I have free lifetime premium, I will no longer be paying for membership anymore.
Will I be able to redeem my future Megaupload points for cash prizes?
E.g.
2/03/09 Paid for Premium account for 3 months.
5/01/09 Get 500,000 points and redeemed for free Lifetime premium and stopped paying for membership.
8/04/09 Racked up 100,000 points and redeemed for $100.
Will my $100 still be paid out to me since I am no longer a "paying premium member" ?
