What's the point for $50m Gil to do the Cloud beta test if you can't keep it?

I thought at first you got to keep the 50 mil but then read and found out you didn't. What's the point of helping out with the testing for no rewards and loosing precious playtime.

Exactly. That's what I was trying to convey in my post. Giving $50m GIL that you can't keep; buying mounts, food, gears, etc that you can't keep & will be deleted once the beta test is done, poured cold water on my plans to play on the cloud. To give that much gil on my actual character would have been more of an incentive to go on the cloud beta.
