15,000 points + points
15,000 diamond
Already you're at 90K. At some point it's best to switch to points + miles if you know you're going to go over a bit sounds like?

No, thats not right. The cap is on 100k base points, so for example if you spend $10,000 (eligible points spend), you will get :
100.000 base points
100.000 double points (if that is the promotion)
50.000 Diamond
50.000 points and points
IF you are signed up for the Conrad promotions there are extra weekend bonuses (5000 points) and 2000 points per night, and repeat Conrad stays.
So a 1 week trip can easily earn another 20.000 points
Total : 320.000+
I had a 2 week trip one year, when there was a triple points promotion so earned 400.000+ points :-) Before the devaluation that paid for the folowing year 10 nights :-)
