Kuponuts, thanks for your clarification.

Not arguing with you, just trying to understand your big accomplishment!

Your revised figures are probably still off, eg,

1. Your first 25 stays (in fact 13 stays since it is double-counting) will not yield 30% bonus as you had not acquired Diamond stattus. Instead of 15K being 30% of 50K, the figure will probably be 12K or 13K if the base was 15K. Small difference of 2-3K pts in the larger context.

2. Other bonuses of 19K suggests 8(?) stays at Shenzhen where RC was not open? Does it mean you stayed at Shatin 84-8(Shenzhen)-1(TsimShaTsui)=75 times? Yet this is not possible as the promotion was only for 4 months or 123 nights. Even if you stayed at Shatin every other night it would be 62 nights.

3. Shatin did not have G2 the entire period of NBT (I think Nov was without, not sure about Oct, can check later). But even if (which is impossible) Shatin had G2 for all your 62 stays, it would only be 62 x 1500 = 93000. Shenzhen did not have a G2, certainly not in Dec or Jan. So there should be a shortfall of some 33K pts and probably another 25K-45K pts if Oct and/or Nov were without G2. There might have been a bonus for the one night in TsimShaTsui but that is only one night and doesnt really change things.

4. In fact, looking at your number of stays for Jan (31), it must mean that you stayed half of them in Shenzhen which does not have a G bonus for Jan.

So the same question - did you have other bonuses?

As I said I do believe you managed to get all these pts, but how?
