The BTA is based on when you bought it, not the current BTA.

Yeah, but the BTA prices usually keeps decreasing, so there's hardly an advantage in locking it early.
It used to make sense to blindly spend that dollar in the first week when it meant you'd get the BTA bonuses, but that's not the case anymore.

It's a little more complicated than that. It usually starts low and then spikes really high within a minute or two, quickly drops down for about an hour, slowly drops for the rest of the first week, and then slowly rises during the second week. I've found the best time to buy is right at the beginning, before the big supporters spike the price.

That's a very detailed analysis. :) But generally speaking, the BTA decreases in the first week, while buying in the first few minutes is not a viable option for most people. So I guess the best general reccomendation is to buy at the end of the first week (if saving money is the only concern).

No. It locks to the original purchase.
In my opinion this system is perfectly fine. It prevents people from getting the BTA even if their original purchase was less than the BTA.
For example: I chip in 4 dollars and the BTA was 5
During the bundle the BTA gets down to 3.5. If they didn't use this system that would mean that I could get the BTA games without actually BTA with my purchase. So it's a way to avoid pricedumping. and that's more than fair to the developers.
To add 0.01 would be a d**k move that would cost HB (and in the end charity/developers) money. If anyone would like developers to be become even more reluctant to participate in game bundles than that would however be a really good move.

Yes, that's normal. The average must have been $9.05 when you bought the bundle for $2, so if you want to increase your contribution to get over the average the bar is set at $9.05. When you buy a bundle the BTA targets gets frozen at whatever point it was at the time of purchase.
However, you can simply buy a whole new bundle for $5.36.
