as far as i know the rewards are for the whole series per week. Ive run all in a row and had to take a different reward each time. Perhaps you experianced a bug during the first parts, or perhaps are misremembering the span of days it took you to get through the series.

Part five wouldn't allow the Hero Merit or threads; again citing the every 7 days rule and never having done part 5. Why does it lock out rewards for episode you've never done one day, but allows it the day before? There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason why the rewards lock out. |

The first time you play an SSA, you get one freebie reward for every separate episode. Then you can play any of the SSAs and get one extra choice of that reward, once per week.
So since we have parts 1-5, you should be able to get 6 of one reward (e.g. 6 alignment merits) in one day (or whatever length of time it takes you to complete them). Part 1 freebie, part 2 freebie, part 3 freebie, part 4 freebie, part 5 freebie, weekly reward.

I did parts 1 - 4 yesterday, on a character who had done them before, and picked a different reward each time. Then I did part 5 for the first time and was able to pick any of the rewards for that chapter.
So I dunno why it wasn't working for you.

Working as intended. Not the OP's issue. (Nor is the other part of your post, but I wanted to specifically highlight this portion.)

I thought it was just me going crazy and forgetting what days I've run them on. This explains a lot.
I did 1-5 on my Vigilante level 50 on hero side around 2 weeks ago. I claimed an Astral Merit on each run, and then repeated the 1st SSA to get the extra one (so a total of 6 Astral Merits).
I couldn't remember which day I did them on so waited 7 or more days and tried to do them again. The first SSA let me pick the Astral Merit reward. The 2nd and 3rd SSA told me I'd got to wait 7 days to claim that reward, so I gave up. I've not been able to claim more than 1 Astral Merit since.
I should add that I've also been running them on my Villain character red side. I'm beginning to wonder if somehow one is interfering with the other.

This is WAI. You can only get 1 freebie pick per episode the first time you play it (doesn't matter when you play it in regards to playing any of the others).|

After that, it's one pick per week (per reward), period, end of story.

The thing is, I've just logged in to a character that's not been online for 8 days. I just did part 1 and was able to choose an Astral Merit. Parts 2-5 will NOT let me choose an Astral Merit. |

So, basically after I've run all 5 parts for the first time, I can only ever after get 1 Astral Merit per week?
Apologies if I appear to be repeating myself, I just find it confusing is all.

That's exactly what I just got done saying. Both in the quote you quoted me on, and in the response I already made to your last post.

Regarding the timer, if anyone besides me is curious, I ran an SSA early and kept checking in to see when I became eligible for the reward. The timer is somewhere between 6 days 17.5 hours and 6 days 18.7 hours. Given that range, I would guess it's set to 6 days 18 hours.

I can never remember when I've done these, and with which characters I do them, so whenever I run one of these I send myself an in-game email to that character recording which ones I've actually done.
Yesterday I took a character I'd never taken on the SSA, and did parts one through three. For each part I took a Hero Merit(and was able to).
Today I took the same character to do parts four and five. For part Four, the Hero merit was locked out citing that I couldn't take it for a repeated run(despite not having done part four before), so I took 10 incarnate threads.
