I think a lot of people get confused with the lingo. You may be confusing QAs with snap bids and/or COB.
QAs are in place to assist PNMs, not really chapters (not that the chapter doesn't benefit). To oversimplify, if a PNM is unmatched after quota has been filled (and the PNM maximized her options), the RFM specialist will place the unmatched PNM on a bid list for one of her preferenced chapters. Some RFM specialists will place the PNM in the smallest preferenced chapter, others will place the PNM on her highest ranked chapter, others may use other criteria completely. In the past, quota additions were capped at 5% of quota, but since PNMs were going unmatched, that restriction has been eliminated. Typically, the chapter will not know which new members are QAs and which were on the original matched list.
Snap bids are utilized by the chapter immediately after bid matching but before bid distribution, in order to assist the chapter in reaching quota. Regular chapter members are usually unaware that a new member has been snapped rather than matched. The new member will know, and maybe the recruitment chair and a few other officers of the chapter.
COB bids are used to assist the chapter in achieving chapter total and are extended after formal recruitment has concluded.
Both snaps and COB bids are executed by the chapter, not the RFM specialist.
