Yup, 7,000 looks right to me. On a $1,200 spend, it'll itemise on your statement something like :
2,400 (base points = 2 points per $)
1,200 (extra 1 point per $ gold bonus)
2,400 (promo bonus, which doubles your base points)
1,000 (extra promo bonus for staying at a weekend)
The gold bonus is independent of the promo, and if for some reason it is missing because the systems haven't caught up with your gold status upgrade, you can retro-claim.
Don't forget to look out for Green Choice too. There's up to another 1,500 points up for grabs there, if your property is participating.
Looking also at your first stay, with a $260 spend, Sheraton, weekend :
520 (base points = 2 points per $)
1,040 (promo bonus, for staying at a Sheraton, which triples your base points)
1,000 (extra promo bonus for staying at a weekend)
For each of these stays you then add the 2 points per $ spend if you pay with SPG Amex.
