The information on the Amex website is factual and accurate as it relates to how many Starpoints you earn when using the SPG Credit Card from Amex. You earn 1 SPG Starpoint per dollar charged on this card. Any extra points you earn depends on your status within the SPG program (or bonus promotions). If everyone wants to get their panties in a twist over a factual statement, then that is your problem. Is it misleading? That depends on your viewpoint - which everyone has. But the information on the Amex website is factual and accurate.

BTW - as a reminder there is no other way to earn Starpoints faster than with this card.
