Confused about Hilton Honors points with VISA

Please forgive me a little on this post. I'm very new to the Hilton program. I'm going to the Hilton Rhodes next week for summer vacation and decided to get the Citibank Hilton VISA to use on the trip for added points. I'm very confused about how many point's i'll actually be earning. I've gotten many different stories from Hilton & Citibank reps. about this. Here is what I know:

Hilton Rhodes hotel cost: $4,000 USD approx. for entire stay

HHonors points: 10 pts per dollar + 5 bonus points (the double dip program I signed up for)

Citi Hilton VISA: 6 pts per dollar spent on VISA @ Hilton properties

Does this total 21 pts per dollar?

Hilton said I'd only earn 19 pts per dollar total. Citibank says only 20, not 21. I'm very confused! Anyone care to chime in?

Also... does the comp. Silver "status" actually get us anything in Rhodes as far as an upgrade/free water?
