I.e. Used 50,000 points/night (+ $100/night to upgrade to better room) when I booked the room. The way I'm reading the T&Cs, that may be the case but seems crazy that $100/night would not be considered eligible spend.
Definitely not eligible per T&Cs plus in practice (so there is an opportunity cost to doing this). Feel my US5k+ pain for doing this in the Maldives.... Sigh. And it also doesn't count towards your spending for the year for Ambassador either.
