If you scroll up this has already been answered. Per the rules, yes you must pay with an Amex card. However you can try to pay with another card and maybe they will accept it, or maybe they won't. It depends if the front desk agent is paying attention or not.
I just added this to the Wiki as the question comes up from time to time.
