Since all that's there at the end of reservation process is the full points rate, and the 10% rebate is applied after that stay (at which point no record seems to exist of the "discounted" number any more), I don't see how it could be based on anything but the full points rate. It would seem to require herculean efforts to figure out what the "discounted" number was at the point, since it's not put it into the reservation.
