Discussion: Plats at 75 nights/year = 4 points per $ and Your24 check-in time
Dear members,
Platinum members who reach 75 nights in a calendar year will receive 4 Starpoints per eligible dollar earned, plus receive access to Your24, a new benefit which allows members to choose their check in time. For example, if you check in at 9 pm, you can stay until 9 pm day of departure.
The following can be found on our official website: spg.com/morepower
New! Starting March 1
SPG 75 Nights Benefits
Four. It’s the new three. Complete 75 eligible nights in a calendar year and earn four Starpoints® for every eligible U.S. dollar spent. That’s the richest elite benefit in the industry — and a 100% bonus over Preferred membership.
Time on your side. Also get access to our new Your24™ benefit, which allows you the flexibility to choose your check in time. For example, if you check in at 9 p.m., check out at 9 p.m.

I don't like the "As always, 4 p.m. late checkouts are subject to availability." wording.

Will this be 4 "base" starpoints (instead of 2) per $ after 75 nights, with the elite bonus on top, or will this be 4 starpoints per $ in total including the elite bonus. Thanks!
