Nights Stayed: 13
Cost Per Night: $118
Total Cost: $1534
Base Points: 15,340 (10 points per dollar spent)
Bonus for Marriot CC: 7,670 (5 points per dollar spent)
Bonus for Platinum Status: 7,670 (%50 of base points)
Referral Bonus: 2,000 (2k per stay)
TOTAL: 32,680
Am I misunderstanding how this works?
Yes, MR issued points are on the base rate (presumming that's the $118), however the CC points should be on total charged which would include taxes and non-point earning services (i.e. parking). So your total would be a minimum expected.
