at a cheap $100 a night for 40 1-night stays = $4,000
(obviously very difficult to do!)
You'd get
100,000 bonus starpoints
20,000 platinum amenity (50*500)
20,000 online booking (50*500)
12,000 Revenue (3*4000)
8,000 Starwood CC (2*4000)
-------------
160,000 for $4,000 = 2.5 cents per point or 40 pts per $ spent
You wrote 50 stays for the platinum amenity and online booking bonus in parentheses, but you have the right numbers for the totals.
I don't see how every stay can qualify for the online booking bonus. I thought it was only if SPG's website is down.
