That's what it implies in the T&C's:
5.7. You may also earn Starpoints for food and beverage charges of US$10 or more in Participating Properties’ restaurants even if you are not a registered guest, when you present your Membership card; however, these earnings will not count as an Eligible Stay or Eligible Night towards elite levels of Membership or for threshold bonuses and promotions.
The waiter should take the card, fill out a form, and bring it back to you to sign. If they don't or you get a deer-in-the-headlights look, just save the receipt and fax it to Program Services and ask them to post it as a dining only credit.
