I dined at Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit Bangkok, Le Meridien Chiang Mai, W Hong Kong and Le Meridien Cyberport on numberous occasions when I wasnt staying at these properties and every single time the waiter/waitress told me that they can't enter my SPG number on the bill and unless I am in-house and charging to my room, i cannot earn Starpoints.
You were incorrectly denied the ability to do this assuming that, if you had been a guest at the hotel, you would have been able to charge the meal to your room.
If you have the receipts, you can fax or e-mail them to SPG for credit.
In the future, if you have trouble with the hotel, just get a receipt and fax it/e-mail it.
After the hotels get charged for SPG's effort in this regard, they may retrain their servers.
