According to this, it looks like you can't hold two FPs for the same attraction in a given day, so would you need to get to #7 if you wanted a repeat? Although does look like one could hop or do multiple tier 1...

So how would that work at hs which only really has 4 rides right now?

Between the cost of the club level accommodations and the $50 per day (3 day minimum) price for the extra FPs, that seems like a pretty hefty price for that advantage. I wonder how many people can afford that, and how many people who might be able to afford it will be willing to pay it.
My biggest question will be how many people will take advantage of this and how it will affect availability of FPs for the very hottest attractions. For people who are already getting the club accommodations, that extra cost is not that bad, and might be worth it when Galaxy’s Edge opens. But, for people who stay offsite, at value resorts, or even DVC on points, that’s a big jump. I would probably opt for an extra hour or so waiting for the park to open over spending hundreds of dollars for a couple of desirable FPs. That seems to be working pretty well for getting a ride on FOP.
Maybe it comes down to whether you would be willing to hold someone’s place in line for an hour or two for $100 or more per hour. In this case you would be holding the spot for yourself and paying yourself.
I can't get past the $219 per night for Club Level to even consider whether I'd pay the $50/day for the FP.
All indications on DIS are that Disney CL is not very good and it's more than double the cost of CL at Universal Deluxe resorts.
Will probably work much better when Toy Story Land opens this spring?So how would that work at hs which only really has 4 rides right now?
So I just upgraded our room at the Contemporary to CL for our upcoming 10 night stay. I spoke with Signature Services about all the perks of the "Theme Park Extra" promo. Now the details that will clarify some questions you may have. The 90 day FP+ is really not 90 days. We are really only getting 20 "extra" days from first day of stay because it's 90 days from check out day to the 30 day mark because normal FP booking starts 60 days from check in, not check out. We do get preferred viewing for Illuminations, Happily Ever After, Rivers of Light and Fastasmic included so that's a bonus in itself. As far as FP's go, we cannot book the same attraction more than once on the 3 purchased FP's but CAN book the same as one of or normal FP's. Also we cannot book the Theme Park Extra package until the 90 day mark hits.
Edit: I also think just upgrading to CL is well worth it. We will be able to eat Breakfast every day at the lounge which will save us money, give us more park time, not have to wait on seating or food etc.
Edit again: because I'm so busy at work I calculated so much so wrong lol. I think I got it right
Honestly I would not be surprised if Disney offered a 3 Tier system, (ala front of the line) which would be for top paying guests. Next would be Fast Pass which would be much like US where they guarantee no more that half the standby and finally standby.

It shouldn't just be for Club level stays. If they are going to do it, Disney should offer the ability to purchase fast passes to all, not a select few. And please everyone, don't say "well you can book club level if you want to" - no, not if it's sold out.
Nope - everyone should get the chance to be fleeced.
As an aside: You can also just eat breakfast in your room Having food / snacks delivered is much cheaper than paying for Club, but to each their own of course
As for the rest: Wouldn't matter if it was 1 day or 30 days advantage (though 20 is pretty significant) ... those headliners are going to be hard to get (already FOP is) ... and when they spread this to other resort guests, its going to be near mandatory if you want a shot at a coveted FP.
