almost, as points will only be awarded by the property on your cost without taxes/service....... so if the $1534 is w/o these charges, then you'll get what you expect............ same (on rate w/o bumps) goes for the 50% bump for plat status........

I used a member referral on sign up, and have enrolled in the Platinum Challenge.

Nights Stayed: 13
Cost Per Night: $118
Total Cost: $1534

Base Points: 15,340 (10 points per dollar spent)
Bonus for Marriot CC: 7,670 (5 points per dollar spent)
Bonus for Platinum Status: 7,670 (%50 of base points)
Referral Bonus: 2,000 (2k per stay)
TOTAL: 32,680

Am I misunderstanding how this works?
