On Sunday I faxed my account activity (14 pages) from Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, and InterContinental that showed approximately 250 paid nights to Starwood. Just received an email from SPG that my status match request had been processed.
On the email they were referring that they had matched my Marriott status.
I am going to move part of my stays to Starwood so it won't be a problem at all to qualify under the current program rules.
