I’m still trying to get SPG legacy credits by the EOY.

My parents want to stay at a legacy property next month in Dubai and have asked if I can book it for them since they’re not members.

I don’t exactly remember the SPG policy on this, but I read the MR T&C and see that the member has to be physically present at check-in and foot the bill for the stay to be eligible for night credits. Just curious if there is a possible workaround to this, for this year at least?
