You forgot the 500 points for booking with Hilton and the AMEX HHonors card.
Of course, if you choose not to double dip, but to earn more HHonors points, you would also earn another 500 points based on the 50% of base.
If you purchase the room through opaque sources (PriceLine, etc.) you will only receive the AMEX points through American Express.
Parking, and all other spending that is hotel related (hotel restaurants, laundry, etc.) are all eligible for earning points; unrelated business spends are not - e.g. a remise taxi in Buenos Aires charged to the room, non-hotel restaurants or business (like gift shops) on hotel premises are not either.

My question is - does double-dip means 1) the three earning style (points+miles or points+points) or 2) the three eaning style + Amex CC points?
For example: I stay in a Hilton and pay $100 for one night using my Amex HHonor card, and I choose the following point earning style. How many points will I get totally for this stay?
• Earn 10 HHonors Base points + 5 bonus points per eligible U.S. dollar spent
This is my calculation:
10 HHonors Base points per $ spent: 10*100=1000 points
5 bonus points per $ spent : 5*100=500 points
Amex HHonor card points: 5*100=500 points
Therefore, the total will be 1000+500+500=2000 points
Is this correct?
Besides, if the room rate is not full rate, I only get points from the Amex HHonor credit card but not from the HHonor program itself. Is this right?
Is parking not eligible spending to earn HHonor program points?
Thank you very much for your response.
