How to display progress from one stop to the next stop on a continuous scale?

Which is more intuitive?

• Option #1 (top picture): Progress bar starts at 1,500 (previous privilege) and ends at 2,000 (next privilege)

• Option #2 (bottom picture): Progress bar starts at 1 (the beginning) and ends at 2,000 (next privilege)

Does one variant motivate the end-user more than the other?
