There is the common $95/yr SPG but not a no annual fee SPG. But my thinking is that the $95 card does provide a viable downgrade path from the Luxury Card. Just not a free one.

If you were trying to ask whether it will count for the annual $300 credit,

Now that this has been going for a few months, can anyone confirm if the platinum status from $75k counts toward lifetime platinum status? The T&C’s seem to to contradict this even if that doesn’t make much sense to do that. I’m platinum premiere through the end of next year, and lifetime gold. Because I’m 7 years as platinum, I wonder if this can help me knock out my last 3 years needed.

Offered 125,000 points and only got 75,000 points
i received a mail offer to sign up for the SPG Lux card for 125,000 bonus points, i signed up based on that offer, but now I only received 75,000 bonus points in my SPG account. Any suggestions on how to request the additional 50,000 points?

contact Amex? Were there conditions for the 125k? Was it 75k + 50k for hitting certain thresholds?

Has anyone used an Amex offer in conjunction with their $300 Marriott credit? I have an Amex offer for Springhill Suites and Four Points. Both give $40 back if I spend $200 or more.
If I have a room bill for $200, will I use $200 of the $300 credit and get a $40 statement credit against other charges? Or will I just use $160 of the $300 credit?
Apologies if this has been asked and answered, I searched this thread, but nothing came up.

But for both the annual credit and AMEX offers, the full amount of the charge is posted, and then you get a statement credit, so my guess it that they would both be applied independently. So in your scenario, I believe you would get reimbursed $200 from the annual credit and then also see a separate $40 credit for the AMEX offer, but it's just a guess.
Hope you'll report back either way
This reminds me though, that there doesn't appear to be a way to track how much of the credit you've used online, the only way to know is to go through your statements and add up what you've used and see what's left. I did a CS chat and they said even they don't have it in one handy place and they would have to go through your account also. I suggested a feature-request for the web team and mentioned that a certain competitor's card keeps track of their $300 annual credit for you online...
they said they'd submit it for consideration

PS. If anyone is wondering if these offers work on multiple stays, it appears that they do; it just appears to take much longer. I had a Ren and CY stay in October, that together were over $300 but individually did not total up to the Marriott offer amount that was going on at the time, so I figured the stays weren't eligible and I forgot about it, but I just received a $60 credit for it a few days ago.
