I just had the person open up a new SPG card in order to pay for all the hotel associated expenses for this wedding.  Seemingly, though, they get 5 points per dollar for monies spent at SPG properties.

The application page states that "Receive up to 5 Starpoints for every eligible dollar spent at Starwood hotels & resorts - 2 Starpoints per dollar spent on the Card in addition to the Starpoints you get as a Starwood Preferred Guest member"

Does that mean they will get 5 points per dollar for the monies charged by the SPG hotel on this card???

Typically you receive up to 3 points per $ for all money spent at a starwoods property when you are a starwoods member. Using the cc you receive 2 additional points.  In your case though it seems like instead of getting the full 3 points per $ for being a member the hotel negotiated a lower rate with you. I see no reason though why you would not receive the 2 points per $ from AMEX for the cc spend

T&Cs don't seem to state if this stacks ontop of current offers. Besides, T&Cs state:

Qualifying planners who are Hyatt Gold Passport members may also be eligible for Hyatt Planner Rewards program bonus points. Hyatt Gold Passport free night redemption is available via goldpassport.com or by calling  1-800-30-HYATT or your nearest Worldwide Reservation Centre.

Which means they can just quote you higher rates to cover the cost of these points...
