In my experience, some do, some don't. My best friend has a family member who works for Starwood. I've stayed with him from time to time on StarHOT rates. Sometimes, the stays have gotten credit, other times not.
If I had to guess, the times we received credit it was probably not a true StarHOT/Starfriend rate, but some sort of discount afforded to the employee by the property.
