So far it appears that the following don’t count:
Resort Fees
Parking
Taxes
Meeting Rooms (though even in the T&C it appears as they should)
Souvenir’s (such as if I decide I want to keep a used bathrobe from my room)?
As an aside I find it really absurd that resort fees and parking doesn’t count for AMB or points. I’d have much preferred they just say $25,000 (or whatever) spend that is on a folio with my name and rewards number on it. They could have saved the IT cost of creating another formula to track.
The simple formula for me is to take base points divided by 10 (although I don't know the effect of staying at hotels that only allow 5 base points on eligible spend).
