As an elite, you get another 50% on base = 1 starpoint. Hence $1 spent at SPG hotel = 3 points (as an elite).

How does the 2x/3x promos work (as an elite)?
If you spend $1 at SPG, then do you get 4 points (+2 points as an elite) for 2x?
Likewise, for 3x, if you spend $1 at SPG, then do you get 6 points (+3 points as an elite) for 3x?

On top of that, if you use SPG AMEX, then you would get an additional 2 points/$1, right?

Is this right?

Thanks in advance!
your base points are doubled & tripled....so basically if you spend $1, then you will get a total of 9 points if they are tripled & you use your spg amex....

the $1 will get you:

2 base points which would become 6 when tripled....
1 point for your elite status which would make the total 7....
2 points for using your spg amex, which would make the grand total 9....

so if you have a $100 stay & take the 500 plat amenity points (250 at some chains) then you get upto 1,400 points per night....
