Thank you! I have that setting on. Does that setting also need to be on for a regular hotel stay in order for me to get a hit? I have read page one of this thread (

), but cannot tell if $100 required minimum spend at SPG also means you have to earn *miles* with SPG by having your preferences set to miles earning, too. (I ask because my upcoming stay would get me something like 12,000 points.)
