I really appreciate the overdrive bonus, but I don't understand why each month you freeze the existing bonus and start another bonus. This bonus is given out in increments of $20, so if you are say $15 earned into the next $20 increment at the end of the month, a new bonus is started and the $15 earned from the previous bonus is frozen and pretty much value dead. It would be nice if you guys would correct this, but if not, players make sure you end each month strategically, otherwise you're throwing away bonus value earned.

I didnt know this untill recently but you can livechat when your new bonus is credited to have the previous bonus stay as your active bonus,

This is correct. The Overdrive bonuses are credited during the first week of the following month and can be paused by live chatting in.

Im a micro SNG grinder and when I got my Overdrive bonus this month, I was like "THANKS RPM! NOT!"

Now I read I can cancel this. Argh, already into the new bonus. Does the $1500 Overdrive bonus clear at $5 at a time or $20?

The Turbocharged Thursday bonus clears in $5 increments but is earned at the same rate of 75 VIP points per $1 as the Overdrive Club bonus.
