Am I wrong?
Sorry to say it but you are wrong. All these double/triple points offers are a bonus on the base points only and you do not get additional VIP bonuses on top of them. You can be offered a double/triple points promotion and also get double points at certain hotels during their individual offers, in effect giving you twice the bonus, but again you would not get the 50% Diamond bonus or 50% bonus instead of miles.
