Please forgive me a little on this post. I'm very new to the Hilton program. I'm going to the Hilton Rhodes next week for summer vacation and decided to get the Citibank Hilton VISA to use on the trip for added points. I'm very confused about how many point's i'll actually be earning. I've gotten many different stories from Hilton & Citibank reps. about this. Here is what I know:
Hilton Rhodes hotel cost: $4,000 USD approx. for entire stay
HHonors points: 10 pts per dollar + 5 bonus points (the double dip program I signed up for)
Citi Hilton VISA: 6 pts per dollar spent on VISA @ Hilton properties
Does this total 21 pts per dollar?
Hilton said I'd only earn 19 pts per dollar total. Citibank says only 20, not 21. I'm very confused! Anyone care to chime in?
Also... does the comp. Silver "status" actually get us anything in Rhodes as far as an upgrade/free water?

NEW! Earn 6 HHonors bonus points for every U.S. dollar (or U.S. dollar equivalent) spent at participating Hilton Family hotels - in addition to the HHonors Base points you normally earn for your stays.
NEW! Earn 3 HHonors bonus points for every U.S. dollar (or U.S. dollar equivalent) spent on purchases at the supermarkets, drugstores and gas stations.
Earn 2 HHonors bonus points for every U.S. dollar (or U.S. dollar equivalent) spent on all other purchases.
They have just changed as the amex has gotten a lot better. I am sure that is why you are getting so many answers.

is that a 10% bonus on the 15 pts per dollar I earn with Hilton? so an extra 1.5 pts per dollar?
So... 15(HHonors)+1.5(Silver bonus)+6(VISA)= 22.5 pts per dollar?

It would be an extra 10 percent on the base amount, not the bonus, so it would be 1 point per dollar for the Silver bonus, not 1.5.
