MGM stay, points accumulation question

I have a stay coming up next weekend which will cost $4200 (already MGM Plat if that matters)

Double Points MGM promo
Double Points with bonus journeys
Globalist 30%

What does my take home point total look like? More specifically, I am trying to figure out how many base points I will get.
Thanks!

Side question: Would you pay for it with the Amex Plat or CSR?

Take your pre-tax spend and multiply by 5. That's base points. So if 4200 is pretax then 21k.

Take your pre-tax spend and multiply by 11.5. That's earned WOH points (it's 5x, 5x, and 1.5x -- no combined multiplication). So 48,300.

For MGM Rewards, it's 2x, so 8400. Despite online indications otherwise, everyone I know has gotten both MGM Rewards and WOH points for stays thus far.

Chase gives 2 points per $ so I would use that myself...

Shouldn't the math be 1.3x (Globalist 30%) not 1.5x?

No, the 30% bonus is to the 5 base points per dollar spent, so a Globalist earns 6.5 points per dollar, plus any other promotional bonus.
