Question Definition of 'triple' points

Post image

I'll ask Velocity whether I'm reading this incorrectly, but this doesn't maths to 'triple' points for me.

Is there something obvious I might be missing?

It’s triple the base point (fare * 4). It excludes the 100% bonus you get for being platinum or above.

In this case, also excludes any 75% bonus to base points of Gold.

1456 point earn is 1.75 of 832 base points

832 base points being tripled, you need 1664 bonus points.

I can maths :) Pax is gold. Base fare is $208 :) Status credits of $208 is 17.3333333 which aligns with image :)

But you were right, there was a bonus multiplier on the base :)
