Double points, elite bonus and bonus points rate
I'm a platinum member. If I'm paying for the 1000 bonus points per night rate, does this 1000 points count as base points? If it is base points, then it should be double with current double points promotion and 50% for my elite bonus, is that right?
In my case, rate for 1000 bonus points every night is $150 and I will stay 5 nights, should I get:
(150 * 10 + 1000) * 2 * 5 = 25000
Platinum elite: (150 * 5 + 1000) * 0.5 * 5 = 4375
Total: 25000 + 4375 = 29375
Is this calculation correct? I have never used bonus points package before. Thank you.

The bonus points count as 'elite' points but do not count as 'base' points.
so, without any coffee yet this morning and still doing math:
1500 for $150 * 10
1500 for double points
750 for the 50% elite bonus
1000 for the bonus package
so, 4750 per night
and, 23,750 for the 5 nights.
also in your math for the elite bonus, you use a money multiplier of 5 and then use an overall points multiplier of .5, since you get 50% of the points, you should use only one or the other.
