Hmmm… it’s been bothering me since others reported (https://www.bonanza.com/community_help/Anyone_Else___Bonanza_Awards_Per_Week_Way_Out_of_Wack_) that the average number of token earned per week (in some cases, 200+ tokens/week) is totally different than what it used to be. So, here is my best guess. Obviously, the math has changed. So, what is different?
First, the math, and this may apply only to users who religiously get their tokens EVERYDAY for at least the past 3-3.5 [URL removed]
I have 5 users. If I take the total number of tokens earned overall for an account and divide by the new weekly average, and then divide that result by 52, I get a range of 3.004 to 3.014 for all of my 5 users.
For [URL removed] 32915 tokens earned/210 avg tokens per week = 156.74 weeks of tokens. Then divide 156.74 week/52 weeks per year = 3.014
Again, for my 5 users, the range of results went from 3.004 to 3.014 .
So, has the Bonanza Rewards program been in existence for approximately 3 years? Regardless of whether my theory is right or wrong, WHY did Bonanza change the math calculations?
Any other theories out there?

when other people asked about, I checked…no issue says 70 earned then I click on the rewards button and it says 80 earned for week…
However, today, since you brought it up I checked again, all three booths earned 1080 for the week…
I checked and I got 1000 tokens on June 11th for reauthorizing paypal..so mine is still working as far as I can tell
the rewards program has been going on since about 2013
EDIT
To answer question
