KABAM Please Clarify - What if Uncollected Player Becomes Cavalier DURING Cyber Weekend Sale?

Can someone from Kabam please clarify/answer whether a player who’s Uncollected now but makes a push and becomes Cavalier DURING the Cyber weekend sale, will be able to:
(1) avail of BOTH the offers made to Cavalier players and Uncollected players, OR
(2) avail of ONLY offers made to Uncollected players (logic: Because Cyber weekend sale already started when the player was not yet Cavalier), OR
(3) avail of Cavalier offers (so long player doesn’t make any purchase of offers made to Uncollected players)?
Some clarification from Kabam in this regard would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Offers “should” only be based on your level at the time they are initially offered.
But to answer the question, the offers are based on your title at the time the offers. Changing your title in the middle of the weekend won't affect those offers.
The statement highlighted in blue, in my opinion, does not clarify whether a player, who becomes Cavalier DURING Cyber weekend sale, will be able to see and buy the refreshed offers geared towards Cavalier players (as it happened during July 4 sale). Unless the term "altered" and/or "added" is meant to address just that.
If "sales presented will not be altered or added to" doesn't mean sales presented will not be altered or added to, what does that phrase mean instead?
It does in fact say that the sales presented would not be "refreshed or changed" when a player becomes Cavalier, because it says they won't be altered period. Unless you believe that when you become Cavalier it is possible to somehow buy the Cavalier offers without the offers presented to you being altered or added to.
The only way to believe that would be to believe the words don't actually mean what they say, and could mean whatever I choose to let them mean.
1) The deal that is offered on Friday for Uncollected will not change & the deal that is offered on Friday for Cavalier will not change during the duration of the offer so there's no reason to postpone your purchase (BUT you can still get both offers if you become Cavalier during the sale as was the case for the July 4th deals); or
2) The deal you are offered on Friday will not change under any circumstances.
You can talk all you want about how it "obviously" says what you believe, but that's not true. Your reading makes more sense if those two quotes followed each other in the same paragraph which is not the case.
You can get into semantics all you want but I wouldn’t be surprised if “no offers will be changed or altered”

There's no way to offer the player the Uncollected sale on Friday and the Cavalier sale on Sunday without the sales presented changing. You could argue the sales didn't change, but the sales presented to the player absolutely did.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not the job of the moderators to answer questions put to them. It is their job to moderate the discussion on the forums. When questions arise for which the playerbase does not have the pertinent information the moderators will often respond to those questions to facilitate discussion. However, when the playerbase is in possession of the relevant information, it is generally up to the players that don't to get that information from the players that do. That's been their general MO for years. In this case, this is seems to be the case. Stepping into discussions like this would be setting the expectation that the moderators should be arbitrating every forum debate. That's not a job they want.
That's generally why whenever you see a forum poster tell other forum posters that they don't care what anyone else says, they only want a response from Kabam, they almost *never* get a response. In fact, that's one of the strongest ways to guarantee you won't get a response. The question you're asking has to be sufficiently interesting, and all the other players sufficiently wrong, for the mods to generally respond to such a post.
In retrospect, I'm pretty sure they consider it an error that they deliberately attempted to avoid with the weekend offers. Whether they did so correctly is another matter. Lost in all of the discussion is the fact that however Kabam structured the offers to be presented to the players, no one should be betting a lot on Kabam's accuracy of execution at the moment. If I wake up on Friday and I see *every* offer from every progress tier cluttering up my units store, I'm not really going to be super-shocked.
That's not cynicism, that's just where the safe money would be at the moment given all the development challenges that have happened recently.
But Thanksgiving, which is always the 4th Thurs in Nov, so anywhere from the 22nd to the 28th, is at it's absolute latest date it can be this year (Nov 28).
If you average out the possibilities, anywhere from 0 days to up to 6 days before the 28th, this year you actually gain 3 extra days to get stuff done in game (from the “average” date that it falls).
So now take that 3 day loss because the deals start on Friday instead of Monday.
And ....
... you are at exactly 0 day’s difference from the Annual Average (of prior years' Cyber Monday formerly being the day for the deals).
