Andrew (Hawkmoon269) put together a really great little resource card for us that I wanted to share.
This way you can print yourself a card-sized copy of this for each of your characters, sleeve it and put it right with your character deck, and this way keep track of which traders you've unlocked in either Plundered Tombs or Factions Favor, as well as which traders you've reduced the cost of.
Hooray for Hawkmoon!
Thanks for the tracker; this looks much better than the plain table I made when we started MM.
This is probably a stupid question, but since a lot of the scenario rewards mention that a trader's cost may not be reduced below 1, and most traders start out at a cost of 2, isn't it possible to reduce the cost of a trader twice, especially when you play a mix of PluTo and SoFF?
Maybe the table could be expanded to include multiple columns from left to right (Cost 4, 3, 2, 1) and having checkboxes where the values makes sense? The leftmost checkbox could mark unlocking the trader at the same time.
Hmm... I hadn't considered that. Let me look over the scenarios to confirm that seems correct. If so, I'll figure out a way to flag that somehow.
Ok. So, these rewards are written like this:
Choose 1 trader that you have been rewarded with and record it on your Chronicle Sheet. For the rest of the Adventure Path, your trade cost for that trader is reduced by 1 card (to a minimum of 1).
Since it says it applies to "the rest of the Adventure Path" I'd say that you have to track your reductions separately. So, if you reduce Hadden Hoppert in Season of Plundered Tombs, he isn't reduced in Season of Factions Favor.
After all, if you earn a loot in Season of Plundered Tombs, you can't use it in Season of Factions Favor.
That would be my understanding at least.
But, yes, you would potentially be able to reduce the more expensive ones more than once in the same adventure path, depending on if they can be earned in advance ore more than one "reduction reward".

Ok. So, since you can play the scenarios in any order, what matters is what adventure you get the rewards. For Season of Plundered Tombs (the number in parenthesis is their cost):
Adventure 1
Traders: Hadden Hoppert (2), Smiths of Wati (2), Sunburst Market (1)
Adventure 2
Traders: Auction House (2), Falsin Deek (2), Ghould Market (2)
Adventure 3
Traders: Udjebet (3), Shardizhad (3), Agymah (3)
Reduction
Adventure 4
Traders: Efni Raan (3), Naheeba (3)
Adventure 5
Traders: Tef-Naju (4)
Ignore requirements for all but 1 card.
Adventure 6
N/A
So, for Season of Plundered Tombs, it seems you only get 1 reduction.
For Season of Factions Favor...
Adventure 1
Traders: Falsin Deek (2), Ghoul Market (2), Sunburst Market (2)
Adventure 2
Trader: Auction House
Reduction: Falsin Deek -1, Ghoul Market -1
Adventure 3
Traders: Agymah (3), Shardizhad (3), Udjebet (3)
Reduction: Agymah -1, Shardizhad -1, Udjebet -1
Ignore requirements for all but 1 card.
Adventure 4
Traders: Efni Raan (3), Naheeba (3)
Reduction: Efni Raan -1, Naheeba -1
So, for Season of Plundered Tombs (at lest so far) it looks like the reductions are being specifically assigned instead of letting you choose. So far, nothing has been reduced by more than 1.

Ok. Based on this discussion, I've reworked the card a bit. I add a place to check that you have the "ignore adventure deck requirements for all but 1" reward. And I made a version for each season. So.
IMHO, you should add the box :
"For the rest of the Adventure Path, Adventure Card Guild characters who trade 2 or more boons to a trader may ignore the adventure deck number requirement for all but 1 of those cards."
Is that on the two newest versions?
For Season of Plundered Tombs it's on 3-5D dated sept 2017
For the rest of the Adventure Path, Adventure Card Guild characters who trade 2 or more boons to a trader may ignore the adventure deck number requirement for all but 1 of those cards.
For Season of Factions' Favor it's on 4-3C dated feb 2018 :
For the rest of the Adventure Path, when you trade 2 or more boons to a trader, you may ignore the adventure deck number requirement for all but 1 of those cards.
Note the wording is a bit different
