1200 diamond bonus
500 AMEX online booking bonus
500 to 1000 "myway" bonus points (let's just say on avg 750)
Total = 5050 points + any other "promos" going on, such as right now I would get an additional 2400 points bringing the grand total to 7450.
I just looked again at this thread and your points calculation might be a bit off.
For two nights at $140 per nite your base spend is $280 so your points should be:
2800 base rate
1400 double dip
1400 diamond bonus
500 AMEX online booking bonus
500 to 1000 "myway" bonus points (let's just say on avg 750)
Total = 6850 points
+additional 2800 promo points bringing the grand total to 9650.
