Yes but the bonus one doesn't reset the remap timer.

Yep, so if you're going to use a remap, take the regular one first.

Bonus remaps are very useful to have. For example, let's say you want to train up a few Leadership skills but you don't want to spend a whole year with Charisma as your maximum attribute. Having a standard remap available, you can switch to Charisma/Willpower while training the Leadership skills, then when done, immediately remap again with the bonus remap to attributes that match whatever is next in your training plan.

Alternatively, you can use the remaps in reverse, using the bonus remap first to temporarily switch to Charisma/Willpower without resetting the remap timer, then, when done with Leadership, immediately use the standard remap to switch back to a longer-term set of attributes. As Kehro stated, the annual remap timer does not reset with the bonus remap, it only resets when you use a standard remap.

I'm not sure about it but I read somewhere in this forum that regular remaps are always used first, that you can't choose which one to use.

I believe this is correct. I just remapped with 2 bonus remaps and now have a timer and 2 bonus remaps still.

To summarize all in one place...

Yes you have two remaps: one annual remap plus one bonus remap.

The annual remap is always used first when available. Once it is used, then bonus remaps are used.

The annual remap timer is not reset by using a bonus remap.

I just wanted to add, IMO, it is a good thing when you activate that annual remap. You start chewing through the timer and so, get closer to another map, down the road.

I'm posting this because, That wasn't apparent to me before... I kept thinking "save the remap, save the remap". And I probably cost myself some slower training times for several months.

I've got 1 normal and 3 bonus remaps currently. I've been in int and mem for over a year now. I figure i'll find a use for them eventually. Who knows?
