How do you piggyback them? (If that's the correct term)

Yes, I think we're similar.
43 points per dollar is what is awarded with each day.

Rough example from a recent stay based on $100 spend.
1,000 base points
1,000 diamond bonus points
1,000 quarterly Power-Up promotional points
1,000 quarterly AMEX Power-Up promotional points
2,50 My Way bonus

4,250 bonus points earned on $100 spending = 43 points per dollar.

Then, when my AMEX Aspire bill hits, I get another 14 points per dollar spent at Hilton properties.

43 + 14 = 57 points per dollar.
