You'd get
100,000 bonus starpoints
20,000 platinum amenity (50*500)
20,000 online booking (50*500)
12,000 Revenue (3*4000)
8,000 Starwood CC (2*4000)

-------------
160,000 for $4,000 = 2.5 cents per point or 40 pts per $ spent

That's if you're platinum though - so in my case being Gold I would only get the plat amenity after my 25th stay right?

I'm trying to work out what I would get for 40 1-night stays at an Aloft hotel (quadruple points) since there is one near my work in Rosemont, IL and it would be very easy for me to check in....
