Or 1k pts times number of pre-merger BRG cases, minus 5% times the cash rate times the number of cases approved before the Starwood discount increased from 20% to 25%.

The "minus" part is what they should have to pay up if they want to insist on keeping the 1k pts savings.

If they retroactively refund the 5% to all eligible cases, then I would stop arguing about the missing 1k points.

Otherwise they are just cherry-picking the rules based on what direction things go?
