Clarification on the early access supporter packs

Hi, I would like to buy a pack and get access to the game.

I see that the pack description mention you get:
- Path of Exile 2 Early Access OR Path of Exile 2 Key

Why "OR"? Does I have to choose between Early access and buying the game again at release?

I've also seen discounted keys on different market like Instant Gaming, where they say a 30$ pack, discounted -39% does not include the 300 premium points.

Aren't $30 packs supposed to have 300 points?
Isn't paying $20-30 for a pack with 0 premium a terrible value worth $0 once the game release?

lastly, if I buy on Steam, can I also easily upgrade my pack at a later date?

Hi there, the first key purchased is automatically applied to the account to grant Early Access, however if the account already has this, they will instead receive a key they may share with friends instead. Please note that Path of Exile 2 will be Free to Play on release, and you will not need to buy this again.

Additionally, the 300 points are obtained when purchasing a Path of Exile 2 Early Access Supporter Pack, and we would advise against purchasing from an unauthorised third-party platform.

Players who purchase Supporter Packa via Steam are able to upgrade their packs using the in-game Microtransactions Store.

I hope this clarifies things!

Thanks a lot!
I had tried to contact the customer support, but I got a generic reply "we can't help you with your technical issue".

Instant Gaming affirms being an official reseller of keys... although I don't know how much you can trust people on the internet :)

From what you are saying, it seems they are trying to resell the extra Access keys at full value, despite not offering the full pack.
Oh one last question please.

If I buy my pack on https://www.pathofexile.com/ so 100% of my money goes to the devs, can I still play the game on Steam?
