It sounds like you didn't read through the new BOD format before turning the BODs in. If you look, there was a new line added.
Look in a BOD for a choice that reads one of
- Bank points automatically
- Banking points disabled
- (another line about prompting for banking I forget exact text of, off the top of my head)
You want to click through that until you get to the "disabled" line, if you want to choose your reward.
The money rewards for going straight to claiming, for small BODs at least, is now 3 gold per point of the BOD, for most BODs. I'm not sure what the gold levels are for larges. Fame is (points/50, squared)
If you claim a lower reward than the BOD value, you may only get the gold and fame of that reward point cost.
Also, if you have banking disabled, the system PREVENTS YOU from turning in another BOD until you claim a reward with the points you just collected. That you were able to turn in 10 BODs in a row pretty much confirms you had point banking turned on (and banking only banks 2% of a small's points, or 20% of an LBOD, so you would have had to have turn in FIFTY of those BODs that way to get one POF).
