Points per GBP UK

I understand that by staying at a Hilton I should earn 10 points per USD spent .
How many points per GBP ?

I have just spent 2 nights at the Birmingham Metropole . The Bill came to £200 exactly with no incidentals . I have been given 2081 base points . I would have thought it should be more like 2400?

Could some one kindly explain how it works?

It is the room rate excluding tax, so you have to take off the VAT. Then convert to USD using a secret Hilton rate which is worse than the market rate, then multiply by 10.

2081 sounds about right.
