base points = status qualifying points
all points = points accrued from all sources used to award stays etc.
Base points are earned by spending $$s to stay at hotels. Other points can be from partners, bonus, status bonus, credit cards etc.

Basically you will get 10 base points for every $ eligible charge, all other points are bonus points.

You can use any points you earn (base or bonus) when booking award stays. However, only base points count towards qualifying for status. Base points are the 10/$ earned on money spent with Hilton properties.
