Here is some previous discussion: FAQ: Discussion re Point/Stay credit for SPG50 or Cash/Points Stays

Guest will not receive Starpoints or airline miles for their reservation. Cash & Points rates are ineligible for Starpoint earnings, even though the member does pay monies directly to the hotel; however, Starpoints are still earned on eligible incidentals as usual, and all in-hotel benefits should be honored for members staying on this rate.

Hope this helps.
