Membership extension granting only 28 days, not 30

The past 2 or 3 months, my membership extension Bike Angels option has only been granting 28 days at 4x extensions instead of 30 days. The 4th extension in a month is supposed to grant 9 days instead of 7, but that has not been the case. I am not sure what exactly might have prompted this change on my end - maybe I disabled auto-renew on my membership, but my membership is still 'active'; it could also be that the last few months, I redeemed the weeks separately instead of all at once. This month, I redeemed 3 extensions at once (21 days) and then the 4th one later (supposed to be 9 days but was 7).

Has the policy changed yet again? The FAQ and webpages still reference the 30 day policy:

https://community.bikeangels.com/kb/basics/bike-angels-faq/38:

Weekly membership extensions are still available, and earning 80 points will now unlock a full calendar month (instead of just 4 weeks).

https://citibikenyc.com/bike-angels/rewards:

Membership extension (20 points): Extend your membership from your original renewal date. Redeem up to 4 weeks each month. When you redeem the fourth week, we’ll extend your membership for a full 30 days.

If not, how can I get this resolved and get my missing days?

    Hey there, Astnish28​, thanks for your reply to confirm after testing things. I followed up with the BA Team, and they were able to pinpoint and resolve the issue. Thank you for taking the time to report this, so we could make things right! 

    I'm unable to adjust your membership renewal date at this time, but I added 40 Bike Angels points to your account to compensate for the missing week or so of extensions and a little extra. This took your points bank total from 7 to 47.

    Hey there Astnish28​!

    Apologies for the delay in response here! I would be more than happy to assist you!

    Reading your post, it is because you are redeeming your weeks separately instead of all at once hence 28 days instead of a full calendar month of 30 days.

    We understand that's not the best experience though and appreciate your feedback on this! We recommend redeeming all 4 weeks at once to ensure a full calendar month extension.

      Lyft_Omar​ When did this change occur? This is not the way the membership extension has functioned in the past, and none of the publicly-facing documentation mentions that all 4 weeks need to be redeemed at once in order to get the additional 2 days.

        Astnish28​ from my knowledge this is how the system has worked BUT I will triple check internally, and good catch on public facing documentation not mentioning that, definitely a thing that would need to be updated if my current knowledge is correct.
