Stardust from Special Quest Stages

Today, I completed stage 4 of the special quest right before I was going to do a raid. So before I claimed the reward, I popped a star piece, hoping to get 6000 dust instead of 4000. No such luck, just got the 4000, but I did get the 50% bonus dust for the raid and catches I made for the next half hour.

Is this likely because I had already finished the quest stage, so the dust reward was set, even if not issued, or does the dust from these things not get buffed by the star piece? Probably going to finish the next state tomorrow, will try to pop the star piece before I catch the last Ghost, and see if I get the bonus that way.

Edit: Per gamepress, I'll get 4000 dust, 3 lures, and 20 great balls for completing stage 5 (Catch a Ditto, Make 20 Great Throws, Catch 10 Ghost-type Pokemon). But according to my screen, in game, I'll get a Premium Raid Pass, a Lucky Egg, and 15 Revives. Which is right, or both? (Rooting for both). I do remember that the stage 4 rewards did include 4000 dust, I got that (but not 6000). Suspect that the issue is a repeat of the stage 4 rewards for stage 5. If the game has it right, I'll have to wait until stage 6 when I evolve a Magikarp to get more dust and do this test.

many people have found that although it doesn't tell you about that the starpiece has increased the dust if you check your dust before and after it is being credited.

Exactly, it will give you 50% bonus for sure. Works for field tasks' stardust reward as well^^

Good. I had a 200/500 dust 'Battle in a raid' and a 1000 dust 'win a raid', and popped a star piece before the battle, and the claim reward screens didn't reflect the bonus. Glad to know I got it on the sly.

Definitely makes sense to use star pieces for the tail stages of the Mew quest that grant dust. 8000 is a nice number to get a 50% bonus on.

I had saved up 3 dust tasks along with a completed stage, and popped a starpiece - this was during the event. I got the 1.5x but it was not doubled. Took screen shot before and after to confirm.
