DT Times Square Dec 31 - Jan 1, $5,009 for one night with double base points. 50k base * 2 = 100,000 base points = Instant Diamond.

Bonus points regardless. It requires $10K.

Bonus Points issued on Base Points, including tier bonuses (15%, 25% or 50%, depending on Member tier), Bonus Points earned through the HHonors Points and HHonors Points Earning Style and double or triple Base point promotions, will apply to the total Base point credit earned for both rooms.

Hope that you'll report back after the $5K stay to let us know. Wouldn't mind to be incorrect, but this doesn't match my personal experience how HH calculates base points for Silver/Gold/Diamond requirement.Originally Posted by colpuck

You only have part of the T&C. Bonus points do NOT count towards STATUS. They do count towards the overall points total.Originally Posted by colpuck

So $5000 for 50K points, not enough for diamond status.

I don't think that is correct here is the part of the T&C you are referring to.
Quote:
Base Points earned will count toward Diamond Elite tier qualification. Bonus Points earned on Base Points do not count toward Elite tier qualification.
it's like EQMS and RDMS. There is a difference between bonus and base points and the T&C makes it very clear that that bonus base points counts towards tier status, while bonus points seperate from base points do not. Base Points earned will count toward Diamond Elite tier qualification. Bonus Points earned on Base Points do not count toward Elite tier qualification.
The rate referenced specifically mentions double base points, not double points, or double bonus points.

A stay finishing in January 2013 will give you status for 2013. You will be probably the first Diamond member with status until March 2015 !
btw, price seems low for NYE, 2 years back when I burned 40k points to go there it was well over 7.500!
