This is the first year I've been using the Trip Calculator on CC to figure out my points for the trip. Now I realize either I'm looking at it wrong or it's wrong! Where it says "Your Plan" it automatically puts in 52,000 points for the Toronto trip. Then I put in 8,000 recruit points because I know I need to have at least 4 recruits. Then I add in my show average. This tells me I'm only 9,579 points away.
But when I look at how many points I'm at, I'm only currently at 34,421 (that is including 4000 recruit points I've already earned) for points. Making me 17,579 points away total. It appears that it's adding in an extra 8,000 recruit points on top of the 4,000 I have already rather than 8,000 total needed. Am I looking at this wrong. It would be totally achievable with only needing 9,579 but I don't know if I could do it needing 13,579! I'm a little disappointed now This is the first year I thought I could earn a trip and I've been reading my points all wrong because of the calculator.
Yes I know I still have time and I'm not giving up but 13,579 gives me needing a monthly average of $4200 points for the rest of the year!
