3. The bonus is basically driven by a matrix of home market and status. Hubs get less and higher status get more. (e.g. Plats get upt to 15k, golds up to 10K, silvers up to 5K at a non hub - not sure about hubs).

So in my case since I'm a Plat in DFW I got what appears to be the top bonus of 15K.
I think everything is right except the last part; I think hubs get shafted and non-hubs got more.

We live in Cleveland, but I never updated my address for WorldPerks, so I (Silver) am technically @ DTW and got 5K, while my wife (Silver) has an updated Cleveland address and got 10K.
