I believe the multiplied points count towards your tier status. While I am
not the authority on this, when I got my black card (I had to ask) they
actually added up all my cashback (NOT BB) to see if I had over $100 in cashback
either on account or added with what I had previously cashed out. So, since the
multiplier counts towards cashback, then it seems it would count towards your
tier status as well.

After being told several different things by several different slot club folk, I called a number they gave me for a woman in marketing... They couldn't even give a current point total, or more accurately, everyone I asked gave a different and obviously wrong current point total. Unbelievable. That is one half assed system they have. The woman on the phone was able to give me an accurate count of tier points and explained that multiple points were for cb purposes only. You don't think they'll eliminate good vp and bounceback because I called and cleared that up, do you?

Multiplied points do count toward tier status, I know someone who got
their black card today due to 2x points.

Well, hit the tier a few days ago due to 2X points and didn't. Explain that one. I suppose it's possible absolutely no one I spoke to knew what they were talking about.

I am very sure that the 2 'slot clubs' that I use (harrahs and
ameristar) absolutly keep 2 seperate counts. one is your base points
and it is used for the tier status. the other is bonus points which
are combined with base points to get comps and such. although if you
go to 2 seperate people in the casino and ask on the same day how many
base points you have this period/year you could very likely get 2
different answers, I dont understand why it is confusing to the
employees, but it seems that way. on a multi point day you could
qualify for a new tier level with your base points even if your bonus
points didnt help (ie.. you need 200 more points and it is a triple
point day and you earned 900 points, which would be 300 base and 600
bonus points) hope this is of help

I know harrah's is very explicit about bonus points not counting
toward tier score, and when you log into your account you can find
out both numbers. I don't think MS has the same level of database
sophistication. In the example I cited I know that it was the
multiplied points that pushed this person over the top.
When I got my card I had to go through about 3 levels of
management...due to incompetence...they first told me I had only 5000
pts...I asked them what date that was as of they said May xx, well I
was talking to them in July...
