My question is if I book the 'breakfast not included' rate, will I be entitled to the Gold benefits (which include breakfast)?

The 'breakfast not included' rate is the equivalent rate as the one on the Hilton website (again, the only reason why I don't want to book directly with Hilton is so I can pay in canadian dollars on expedia.ca).

Thanks,
you will not get your stay credit or point eithers. You probably know this already, but just thought I would mention it. Maybe you should call them before you book it through expedia to see if there is anything they can do for you. I don't think the rate of exchange will help you out, but may be worth a call.
