Default vista upgrade question

i recently bought a copy of xp pro, and filled out the online application form for an upgrade to windows vista business edition. upon filling it out, i received a pretty vague conformation email - in one part it says that i need to send them a fax, mail, or scan of my proof of purchase, and in another part it says that i dont need to with my upgrade redemption form. i know there are a bunch of people who have done this sucessfully, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think basically, what they mean, is that you have 2 forms, one form will be online, and will authentificate with your XP CD Key, or, you will have to scan the UPC Bar Code and send it to them. I think it's how it works, but don't take my word for granted because I've never beem into this process.
