The extra 4% every Fri, Sat and Sun is capped at 100 RC per week and 600 RC for the whole period from Jan 9, and spending $2500 on Fri/Sat/Sun exactly generates 100 RC. To hit the maximum you need to spend $2500 on Fri/Sat/Sun every week for 6 weeks (100 RC x 6 = 600 RC)

So the easiest way to go is spending $2500 at Mannings on Fri/Sat/Sun every week for six weeks and the remaining $2500 on any day of the seventh week. If you register 'Home' for your 6x you'd better do all you spending on Fridays.
Ah! I see - you have to calculate them separately (the numbers make a lot more sense that way). Thanks for the clarification!
