Note that Amex MembershipRewards points can also be converted into SPG points (though not at a very good rate). However, I believe these points also cannot be subsequently converted into airline miles.
Once Amex deposits the points from the card into your SPG account, SPG is SPG and you can do whatever you like with your points. There's no distinction between points earned from credit card vs. stays.
