The numbers are additive. You get the individual credit for each of your assigned "tasks" and then the big bonus if you do them all.
I got the following:
Stay 1 - 1000 points
Stay 5 nights - 10,100 points
3 Brands - 33,000 points
Book 2 stays online - 3,600 points
Stay in 2 big cities - 18,000 points
Stay 2 Saturday nights - 7.200 points
Complete all - 73,000 points
Total: 145,900 points available.
In theory I could do it all in 3 stays over 5 nights. so long as they were all different brands and two were in big cities on a Saturday night, booked online.
Do keep in mind that for the big cities you have to stay in different cities for your two stays. Also, despite many Chicago hotels listed as participating the city of Chicago is not listed in the T&Cs.

Not 100% sure, but don't see why they wouldn't be. With the old promo "Men In Black" the stays were stackable. In my opinion "Men in Black" had a lot more kick than this promo, just one man's opinion.
Also......*snif* *snif* can anyone else smell a devaluation coming? Or is it just me?

it maybe because you're registered to earn miles, not points?

When I was staying with PC a lot, my "personal" offers sucked. Now when I don't stay at all, they suck. What gives?

Note: I have had mostly IC stays the past few months. Higher rates. That might be one reason for higher offer.

This promo annoys me deeply as there is really no way I can get the big prize. For some reason, my "Get out there" offer is for hotels in Australia and Japan. I visited both for vacation recently, but given that I am based in the US and Europe, it is highly unlikely I will again in the next few months. Oh well, guess it is set up that way and I will get a few points out of it.
