I've been checking my credit card account online every day to see if the charge hit.

It finally did, and it is the correct amount -- two nights only, NOT three. ^

Interesting that your experience is different from mine. Maybe this is a glitch that Starwood is in the process of correcting.

EDIT: It is also possible that individual hotels handle these types of bookings differently. My reservation is for the ArabellaSheraton Grand in Frankfurt, Germany. Kudos to them for charging the correct (discounted) rate.
