Does your info come from experience or from SPG or the one of the Lurkers? It it a YMMV deal?

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere (I couldn't find mention of it in this thread), but I'm curious whether SPG gold/platinum welcome amenities are now available on up to three rooms.
In other words, if I book and pay for three rooms at a Sheraton, can I get 1,500 welcome amenity points? (Or breakfast for six?)

thegrailer,
Officially it is only one amenity, BUT... more times than not I receive the amenity for multiple rooms, usually points or movies etc. Have never tried it with the breakfast amenity. Recently had 3 additional rooms upgraded to the club floor and received the 500 bonus pts on all 3. I never ask, but usually I'm told at checkin that I'll receive it on all.

CREDIT FOR MUlTIPLE ROOM BOOKINGS
I recently booked 4 rooms (2 paid and 2 c&p) completed the stay and had the correct stays and nights post. What didn't post was the points from the 2nd paid night. Apparently, they count the 2 c&p stays before the second paid night, that way they avoid paying out points.
Originally contacted SPG about this (through an email) and they replied (what we already know) that we receive credit from 3 rooms only.
So, my question is do they have a choice in which 3 rooms get credit and points? Should they put the paid nights first?

4 rooms..... 2 paid and 2 c&p. I know I would not receive points on the c&p's(only stay/credit) but when determining which 3 rooms to count, shouldn't the 2 paid rooms come first, therefore receiving points for 2 of the rooms.

Is it up to the hotel to decide the order in which to process the rooms for points and stays etc.?

I wonder if you can call the hotel directly and ask them to manually put the points in. I got a lot of missing Green Choice points back that way

Let's say I am alone in a city with 3 Starwood hotels and I stay for one night only. If I book 3 rooms in all 3 hotels will I get 9 stay and 9 night credits?

Technically you should as long as it's paid. Unless there's something everyone missed in the T&Cs.. 
Should check with Lurkers.

As I interpret the T&Cs it is up to three rooms per night and not per night per hotel. Since you are expected to be staying in the hotel too, doing more than one hotel per night would be tough to explain (but not impossible per some of the exceptions posted). So I would suspect you MIGHT get credit for more than one 3x3, I would not expect it.
