I know we don't want bloated, off-putting FAQs that make the system seem too complex to new users, but we also want to ensure that they tend to answer any questions that are, well... frequently asked. And to that point, there seems to be a a prevalence prevalence of of questions questions on on meta meta related to:

Whether there's a minimum point level to get the bonus (yes, 200)
Whether you get multiple +100 bonuses on a site for associating multiple other sites that meet the minimum (no, you can only get a total of 100 points for associating one or more accounts that have 200+)
Why someone didn't get it for an associated account that hit 200 after association. (You have to have 200 at the time of association, so you need to break, and then re-establish the association to get it in that case.)

Given the amount of confusion, it might be worth ensuring that all family sites clearly address the three points above in the FAQ.

I'm aware that all that info is currently available in numerous other places, but I think it causes confusion often enough that it merits clearer coverage in the FAQ.
