Reward for making an intention to give sadaqah multiple times during the day

Q: Through out the day I keep on making intention that I will give one pence of sadqah and keep the record of how many times I've said it on my notes in my phone. At the end of the day I've recorded that I've made intention of giving sadqah of 1 pence 98 times and then at the end of the day I give £0.98 in sadaqah just once.

I just want to know, do I get separate reward 98 times for making intention and writing it down as sadqah or do I get only one reward when I donate that 98 pence together at the end of the day? Is this bidah

A: You will receive a separate reward for the intention you made prior to giving the sadaqah and you will also be rewarded separately for the sadaqah that you had given.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
